Have you pledged the Pound for Pound Challenge yet? Minnesotan Biggest Loser contestants SunShine and O’Neal challenge you to pledge your pounds and join the fight to end hunger in Minnesota and across the nation. Check it out:
We’re thrilled with the success so far of the Pound for Pound Challenge, and the extent to which our community has stepped up! Second Harvest Heartland has been the leading food bank for most of the challenge, thanks to nearly 4,000 individual pledges. Today, we’re asking you to help us get the word out; with your help, we can hit the 100,000 pound mark!
As I write this, we’re at 99,660 pounds pledged in our community. That’s only 340 pounds to pledge to hit 100,000 pounds, and $14,000 donated to Feeding America. (That’s less than 70 people needed to pledge only 5 pounds!)
Will you help us get the word out?

Thanks to everyone who came out in support of the Pound for Pound Challenge to The Biggest Loser Season Premiere Party in Minneapolis! Attendees enjoyed mini-manicures, brow waxes, chair massages, lessons from personal trainers, Wii Fit demos and exciting giveaways such as a Wii gaming system and Wii fit and a $500 spa getaway package.
Best of all, attendees pledged the Pound for Pound Challenge in an effort to “Lose Nationally, Feed Locally.” For every pound pledged, the Pound for Pound Challenge will donate 14 cents to Feeding America–enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank.
Check out the photos and videos from the event–and don’t forget to pledge your pounds now at pfpchallenge.com!

Why are we throwing a party for The Biggest Loser?
Because it’s the kickoff of the second annual Pound for Pound Challenge, of course! This exciting fundraising program was formed by a partnership of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, General Mills and Feeding America to encourage Americans to “Lose Nationally, Feed Locally.”
Sign up and pledge your weight loss goals at www.pfpchallenge.com. For every pound you pledge, the Pound for Pound Challenge will donate 14 cents to Feeding America – enough to deliver one pound of groceries to a local food bank. The more signups and pledges in our area, the more donations will come to Second Harvest Heartland to help feed those in need right here in our community.
Coming to the event? That’s great. You can pledge your pounds online at pfpchallenge.com, or just sign up at the party.
But remember, space is limited–so register for the party now!
