CapTech

Giant Check

RICHMOND, VA – February 23, 2016 – CapTech Delivery Teams from three of their largest accounts competed against each other in friendly rivalry to raise food and funds for FeedMore in the CapTech Food Fight. This head-to-head battle raised $10,000, which will help provide for approximately 40,000 meals, for hungry neighbors in Central Virginia. The check presentation took place on February 18, 2016 at the FeedMore headquarters. CapTech Principal Dennis Bowne presented the donation to FeedMore CEO Doug Pick on behalf of the fundraising teams.

Launched in 2013, the annual CapTech Food Fight for FeedMore had donated a combined 5,800 lbs of food in prior years. This year, with the addition of a new client delivery team and a renewed focus on the cause, CapTech consultants rose to the challenge and increased this year's contribution to FeedMore 85% over previous years. The teams introduced creative fundraising methods including the opportunity to throw a pie at a CapTecher, bake sales, corporate contribution matching days, head and beard shaving contests and weekly mock commercials. Utilizing FeedMore's Virtual Food Drive platform, the teams were able to easily keep track of monetary donations.

"We are able to do what we do because of the continued support of organizations like CapTech," said Doug Pick, Chief Executive Officer at FeedMore. "Their dedication to our mission and commitment to raising awareness about hunger in our community allows us to further extend our reach and positively impact our neighbors in need."
