More than 16 million kids in America struggle with hunger. Share Our Strength connects these kids to the food they need, not just today, but for the long term. Share Our Strength invests the funds raised through Dine Out For No Kid Hungry in its growing number of state and city-based partnerships and in nonprofit organizations across the country. The investments are focused on helping end childhood hunger in the following ways:
* Helping to feed more kids during the summer when school lunches are not available.
* Helping more kids start the school day off right by connecting them to school breakfast.
* Helping afterschool programs provide nutritious meals and snacks.
* Helping families get the food they need at home, by improving access to SNAP (food stamps) and WIC.
* Teaching families how to prepare affordable, healthy meals, and bringing fresh and healthy food options to high-risk communities.

Parties That Matter is a charitable organization (run by a phlock of parrotheads) that has donated over $50,000 since 2007 to a host of causes through charity tailgate parties. Based in Dallas, Texas, Parties That Matter was officially founded and recognized as a charitable organization in 2009 and donates their proceeds to a number of charities including the Alzheimer’s Foundation, The National Breast Cancer Foundation, The Wendy L Fugitt Memorial Fund to benefit research in Amyloidosis as well as many individuals who find them selves facing life threatening diseases and limited or no means to fight back. For more information on Parties That Matter and the causes they support, check them out on the web at www.partiesthatmatter.org.

Joining together the charitable spirit of the Parrot Head Nation along with the same profound charitable spirit of the NASCAR Nation, NASCARitaville.com and Parties That Matter have a goal to bring attention to and strengthen their efforts by further joining the two fan bases that are already rooted together. The organization is hoping for a top ten finish this year. Their first Sponsafier entry in 2010 garnered a 29th placed finish among over 75,000 entries. The goal this year is to crack the top ten. Parties That Matter plans on auctioning off all prizes that they may win from the Sponsafier entry to fund future charitable efforts.

The Toyota Sponsafier contest is open for voting. You may vote once every 24 hours. If you are looking for a great cause and a cool car to see on the track check out NASCARitaville Parties That Matter Racing Team and maybe you’ll also be “Racing Away Again In NASCARitaville!”

(NOTE – The “we” in the poster below is not the Music City PHiNs. “We” refers to the group ‘Parties That Matter’)

Many thanks to all of the Music City PHiNs members for your participation, to the management and staff at Margaritaville Nashville for working with us to have our party there and to the various pholks that donated toys, prizes and gifts.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
