To wrap up another eventful semester, Food for Thought hosted its third annual Rise Up for Rice Competition in December, in partnership with freerice.com. This year, we raised more than 30,000 grains of rice through a series of online trivia games. Each correct answer earned 10 grains of rice, which will be donated to the United Nations World Food Programme. That means over 3,000 questions were correctly answered by our amazing – and incredibly smart – participants throughout the weeklong competition! The scores were captured via screen shots and shared across our social media platforms to further spread the word and update our virtual leader board. Congrats to our three winners: Nik DeCosta-Klippa, Christina Chironna, and Zach Briggs, who each received a $10 gift card to Starbucks! And a huge thanks to everyone who played for the cause. Stay tuned for more awesome events this spring!
