All Nighter For The Poor 2009
All Nighter for the Poor is a fundraising event sponsored by Food For the Poor, Inc. in which college students stay up all night Friday October 16 (World Food Day) to raise money for the poor in the Caribbean and Latin America. The focus is for college groups and organizations to come together and help save lives by alleviating hunger in destitute countries with funds raised. The night of the “All Nighter,” schools choose whatever activities they want to do, but all are advised to watch and participate in the “webathon” that will be hosted that night. The funds raised for All Nighter are used to finance self-sustaining food programs for poverty stricken communities, such as: · Feeding Programs · Fishing Villages · Tilapia Fish Farms · Fruit Tree Nurseries · Animal Husbandry/Farming Projects

The main objectives of the nationwide, student-led event are: · To promote awareness about world hunger while accumulating funds for hunger solutions. · Provide opportunities in leadership for students, allowing them to gain valuable work experience by organizing and participating in fund-raising activities. · Strengthen student involvement and togetherness by encouraging faculty, staff and students, as well as the surrounding community, to join the arranged fund-raising and awareness

Food For The Poor (FFP) is the largest international relief and development organization in the United States. The organization has helped the poor of the Caribbean and Latin America through both direct relief and sustainable development projects since it’s founding in 1982. Because more than 97% of all donations received go directly to programs that help the poor, FFP has received the highest possible rating for fiscal efficiency from industry observers, including Charity Navigator, Ministry Watch and the Better Business Bureau.
