Hello all sponsors and participants!
Thank you again for making Valley First’s 9th Annual Hungry Hungry Half such a success. We really enjoyed hosting you all, and seeing you accomplish your goals!
Together, this year, we’ve raised over $28,000, which puts us at $100,000 raised for the Central Okanagan Food Bank over the past 9 years! A special thanks to Daryl Chymko for pushing us up to that $100,000 mark at the last moment as well!
I wanted to quickly thank our sponsors again:

Orchard Chiropractic was providing physio and chiropractic services at the finish line.

K96.9 was our amazing radio sponsor!
Doak Shirreff has provided all of the water bottles along the route and at the end.

Another big thank you to all of our volunteers along the course – without them, this event couldn’t be successful.
We have a quick survey that we would love you to answer if you have a moment: 2024 Valley First Hungry Hungry Half Survey, but if you’d rather, you are welcome to email us any suggestions, questions or recommendations for next year!
As always, the Central Okanagan Food Bank appreciates your support, and if you are able to donate, or volunteer they would love to hear from you. We look forward to seeing you all again for our 10th Annual Event in 2025!
