Food Drive Championship Week

Helping out a community in Washington!

All right folks – this is it. We are nearing the end of our March Madness food drive, and another championship for Cal is squarely in our sights!

Through the first two weeks, we have dominated our four matchups to advance all the way to the Final Four – putting us on the cusp of a historic three-peat for UC Berkeley.

To date, you all have donated more than $1,500! I am truly blown away by your generosity, and you have impressed my wife to the point that a UC Berkeley sweatshirt is now on the way to my home for her to wear. But I digress.

I have spent most of your donations to get to this point in the bracket, buying up high needs foodstuffs in large quantities to give to our local food pantries here in Puyallup, Washington. Just this morning, I raided Grocery Outlet, but I’ve also made multiple trips to Costco:

From my first trip to Costco …

From another trip to Costco, even though it looks very similar to the first one!

From this morning’s trip to Grocery Outlet – step one toward winning the Final Four!

Now, I have reserved what I think is enough money to get us through to the championship. That said, you all have expressed in each of the last two years that you would like to LEAVE NO DOUBT about the winner. So I’m here to give you one more opportunity to contribute to our final push toward WINNING A THIRD(!!!) DAMN TROPHY FOR CAL. You can send me donations via Venmo (@Jeffrey-Nusser). Or PayPal (jeff.nusser@gmail.com), or Cash App ($Nusscoug), or Apple Cash (send me an email and I’ll send you my number) or good ol’ fashioned check in the mail (again, send me an email and I’ll send my address) … but Venmo is definitely easiest.

Thanks for your support! Go Bears!
