RUN ON TUNA
Feeding our hungry RUN ON TUNA
by Kelly Gesick
Michelle Sturge sets out to make a difference in her community every September during hunger action month.
Michelle along with De De Rosene challenge themselves, their family, friends, colleagues and local businesses to make a difference by donating tens of thousands of cans of Tuna through their Run on Tuna to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. This annual event aims to fill up the food bank and provide help to those in our communities dealing with food insecurity.
In 2021, the Run on Tuna collected 20,590 cans of tuna. Over the past 11 years the Run on Tuna has donated over 155,000 cans of lean, healthy protein to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. The Food Bank of Northern Nevada provides food for families in need through more than 150 partner agencies across northern Nevada and the eastern slope of the Sierra in California. FBNN serves more than 107,000 people every month, almost half of whom are children and seniors. Last fiscal year, FBNN provided more than 20 million meals for neighbors who faced hunger.
When not putting a run on tuna Michelle can be found supporting real estate professionals as co-leader of Chase International Real Estate's Reno office. To learn more or get involved
