2018 Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame

A MESSAGE FROM THE CO-CHAIRS Dear Guests, Welcome, and thank you for attending Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame! We are excited and truly grateful that you have joined us this evening. By supporting this event, you have helped contribute to the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank’s hunger-relief efforts. Thank you for making a difference in our community!

The Taste Planning Committee has been working tirelessly throughout the past year to help organize this evening’s event.

It has been a privilege to work with such a dedicated group of community members who care so passionately about the families in our community struggling with hunger. Thank you to all the volunteers who help make this event run smoothly and for their many hours of service.

We’d like to recognize and thank the generosity of the purveyors participating this evening. They not only donated the delicious food items we’ll enjoy tonight, but they have given their time and talents to be with us. The many restaurants, wineries, breweries and additional food and beverage providers help make this event a success. We encourage you to support these establishments year-round.

We would also like to extend our gratitude for the generous in-kind and financial support received from our sponsors, and for the support from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Their staff dedicated countless hours securing the participating Hall of Fame Gold Jackets. We appreciate their continued partnership.

We’ve had the pleasure of serving as Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Co-chairs for a third year now, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be involved with such an incredible organization committed to tackling hunger in Northeast Ohio.

Sincerely, Mark Butterworth CommQuest Services, Inc.

2018 Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR FOODBANK Dear Friends, On behalf of the staff, volunteers and the Board of Directors of your Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, thank you for choosing to spend your evening at Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Your support allows us to continue to fight hunger in Northeast Ohio and move closer to our goal of a thriving community free of hunger.

Fundraising events like Taste of the Pro Football Hall of Fame help ensure food gets to our community members who need it most through our extensive network of nearly 500 food pantries, hot meal sites, shelters and other hunger-relief programs. With your continued dedication, your Foodbank helps provide 109,000 meals each day for the individuals and families in our region struggling with hunger.

Tonight, every $1 raised will help provide four meals for a child, adult or senior facing food insecurity in our community.

Your attendance this evening demonstrates your passion and commitment to the Foodbank’s hunger-relief efforts – thank you.

This event’s success is due to the outstanding leadership of the 2018 event co-chairs, Mark Butterworth and Paul Catania, and the dedicated Taste Planning Committee. Thank you for leading the charge and planning another spectacular evening.

Your steadfast support and commitment will undoubtedly make tonight a huge success. We would also like to thank the Pro Football Hall of Fame for hosting us in their beautiful facility, and the Gold Jackets who are here with us this evening.

Thank you for joining us tonight. Together, we can be the difference between hunger and hope.

Warm Regards, Dan Flowers President & CEO
