CBU RECEIVES AWARD FROM FOOD BANK

Christian Brothers University is pleased to announce that they are the winners of the "Most Successful New Campaign" in the Food Bank's 2008 corporate food drive, Operation Feed. Over 70 companies participated in this year's campaign, raising $424,000 and collecting 73,000 pounds of food! Through its "Feed the Need, Fill the MINIs and Put Tracie Burke to Work" campaign and partnership with Roadshow MINI, CBU raised nearly $3,000 and collected almost 2,000 pounds of food -- an average of 525 points per employee! The success of CBU's food drive, coupled with the creativity of its campaign, earned CBU the "Most Successful New Campaign" award, a beautiful plaque, and the sincere thanks of the Mid-South Food Bank.
