Chrysler Group LLC and Metro Detroit Dealers Partner with Forgotten Harvest and the Detroit Red Wings in ‘Fight Against Hunger’ Sweepstakes

Chrysler Group LLC and the Metro Detroit Chrysler Jeep® Dodge, Ram Truck Superstores are teaming up with Forgotten Harvest and the Detroit Red Wings in an effort to fight hunger.

The “Fight Against Hunger” Sweepstakes begins today and runs through Dec. 13, 2010. During this period, Chrysler Group and the local dealers will donate $10 to Forgotten Harvest for every test drive logged at a participating Metro Detroit Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck Superstore. Funds raised will benefit Forgotten Harvest’s mission to provide meals for hungry Metro Detroiters.

“The Chrysler Group and our Detroit Metro dealers are proud to partner with Forgotten Harvest and the Detroit Red Wings in the fight against hunger,” said Greg Martin, of Chrysler Group's Great Lakes Business Center. “We hope this campaign will inspire consumers to join us in our efforts to raise funds for Forgotten Harvest so they can continue to provide food to those in need.”

The “Fight Against Hunger” Sweepstakes is open to Michigan residents who are at least 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license at the time of entry. A drawing will be held on Dec. 15, with 10 winners each getting two suite tickets to Joe Louis Arena to see the Red Wings take on the Dallas Stars on Dec. 19, as well as food and beverage during the game.

“Hunger has an address and it's now in every community across metro Detroit, but with partners like the Detroit Red Wings and the Chrysler Group and Metro Detroit Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram Truck Superstores we can help feed 80,000 hungry people this holiday season,” said Russ Russell, Chief Development Officer of Forgotten Harvest.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
