AHBL Goes for Fundraising Gold: Food Frenzy 2021 Recap

2021 has been a year full of reconnecting and coming together. Food Lifeline’s annual Food Frenzy fundraiser has been a unifying event among our four offices for over a decade; this year was no exception. In the spirit of the Tokyo Olympics and coming together, AHBL’s four offices represented AEC-themed countries to compete in AHBL’s Office Olympics from July 16-30.

The teams included: 

• Seattle, Republic State of Variances 

• Tacoma, Federation of Feasibility 

• Pasco, Nation-State of Specifications  

• Spokane, Republic of Reconstruction 

Now in our 12th year of participating in Food Lifeline's annual Food Frenzy fundraiser, we rallied behind our respective “countries” to fundraise and participate in Office Olympics-themed games during our Food Frenzy closing ceremonies.  

After two weeks of hard-fought competition, the Republic State of Variances (Seattle office) claimed the gold medal after raising $1,665 ($75.68/person). The Federation of Feasibility (Tacoma office) received silver after raising $3,840 ($44.65/person), and bronze went to the Pasco office for raising $11.36/person. The Republic of Reconstruction (Spokane office) received the participation award. 

In total, AHBL employees raised more than $6,300 for Food Lifeline and 2nd Harvest, an Eastern Washington non-profit. Thank you to all those who helped us make a difference in our communities.

Food Frenzy 2021 overall totals:

• $424,078 dollars raised - equivalent of 2,120,390 meals!
