We are thrilled to welcome you to the 28th Annual Taste of the Browns! I would like to thank all of you who have joined us here tonight. By being here, you are making a difference in our community. Last year, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and 1,000-plus partner agencies served more than 404,000 individuals – more than during the height of the pandemic. Nearly a quarter of those neighbors were turning to us for the first time. Every bite and sip helps us provide nutritious food and essential resources so our neighbors facing hunger can thrive. I would like to give special thanks to our sponsors, including Presenting Sponsor, NOCO; VIP Legends Lounge Sponsor, Davey Tree; Champion Sponsors, Medical Mutual, Meijer, and Swagelok; MVP Sponsors, DiGeronimo Companies, Globe Life, Nestle, NRP Group, and Sanson Produce. To all of our wonderful sponsors and supporters of this event, thank you for your dedication to helping us fight hunger. Community leadership is an enormous part of the success of this event, and I want to thank the entire Cleveland Browns organization, which has so generously hosted Taste of the Browns for the past 28 years. A special shout-out to our honorary co-chairs Carson Schwesinger, Cleveland Browns linebacker, Joel Bitonio, Cleveland Browns alum, and Chef Rocco Whalen of Fahrenheit. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to the Food Bank. I also want to thank the chefs and beverage purveyors who are giving their time and talent tonight, preparing these incredible dishes, which will hopefully spark your interest to support them at their respective restaurants and locations! We can’t say it enough: For every dollar raised, the Food Bank can help provide two nutritious meals. Just take a minute to think about the impact of one dollar! Your support by being here tonight is making such a difference. Thank you, and GO BROWNS! Sincerely,
Kristin Warzocha President & CEO, Greater Cleveland Food Bank
