First Foodprint Donation Destination: Relay for Life of York County

We are happy to announce that our very first fruit donation for the Fresh Food Frenzy Project will be given to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of York County in Kennebunk, Maine on Saturday, June 21, 2014. The fruit donated will be used to help energize participants as the teams and individuals walk through the night around the Kennebunk High School track (4:00 PM to 6:00 AM!!) to honor, remember and raise money for all those people who have had, are now battling, or will be diagnosed with cancer. Special laps will include the Sun Savvy Sunsations, Colors of Hope (cancer colors), Survivor and Caregiver Victory Lap, Team Theme and Banner, Favorite Holiday, New England Sports Team, Duck Dynasty Camo and Hunter Orange, 70's Hippies and 80's Neon, Mr. and Mrs. Contest, Crazy Hat/Crazy Hair, Geeks and Nerds, Dance Party, and the final Pack the Track/Thank You/High Five! lap. 

The accumulation of all the foodprints of all people who have ordered fruit4me, veggies4u, or maine-ly4u boxes during the months of April or May will be donated at this event. We would like to specially thank the following people for their donations to the Fresh Food Frenzy Project and the Relay for Life:
