Thank you to everyone in our community who came out to support the 16th Annual Giving Hunger The Blues on Sunday March 27, 2011.
Over 7000 guests attended the event and enjoyed the sunshine, music, food, entertainment, games, rides and a host of other activities. Your attendance enabled us to raise over $100,000 which benefits All Faiths Food Bank, the most effective anti-hunger organization in Sarasota. Giving Hunger The Blues has become the Food Bank’s largest one day fundraiser, and to date our community has raised over $950,000.

We also immensely appreciate the generosity of all of this year’s sponsors. Giving Hunger The Blues would not be possible without them.
