For
the 2nd straight year the Cedar Rapids Titans will put their focus on
tackling hunger throughout Eastern Iowa. The Titans will team up with
Waypoint of Cedar Rapids, Cumulus Radio stations of Cedar Rapids, and
Cedar Valley World Travel to host the 2nd annual "Stuff the Bus" on
Wednesday, November 14, 2012.
Titans
players, Titan Dolls, coaches and staff will be collecting
non-perishable food items at the Walmart Supercenter located at 2645
Blairs Ferry Rd NE in Cedar Rapids from 6:00am - 6:00pm in an effort to
stuff a Cedar Valley coach bus full of food items to help those in need
this holiday season. Cumulus stations will be on location throughout the
day broadcasting live.
"Last
year we collected nearly 400 pounds of food and that was a huge
testament of the generosity of this community. As the holiday season
approaches there are many families who don't have the means to put a
meal on their table. We want to make sure every family is able to
celebrate & enjoy the holidays," said Chris Kokalis, Titans co-owner
and general manager.
Fans
in the community will have the opportunity to meet and receive
autographs from the players & dolls. Cash donations will also be
accepted on the day of the event.
Waypoint's
mission is to strengthen and empower individuals who are homeless,
living in poverty, or victims of domestic or sexual violence; and to
help children gain the essential skills vital to reaching their full
potential. Waypoint provides shelter and support for those in crisis due
to homelessness, poverty, domestic violence or sexual assault. It also
provides quality child care to over 600 children daily of all
socio-economic levels.
