TORONTO, ON – September 20/12 – Canadians are invited to crush hunger! This October, to help kick off the Maple Leaf Monster Jam® 2013 Tour, Canada
will host the largest food drive in Monster Jam history! As a part of
its continued commitment to Monster Jam fans, starting Wednesday,
October 3, 2012, The Maple Leaf Monster Jam Tour presents CRUSH HUNGER – A MONSTER JAM CANADA FOOD DRIVE
running in four Canadian cities:
October 3 – Hamilton, London & Winnipeg

Monster
Jam’s goal is to help crush hunger and donate hundreds of pounds of
food to those in need this Thanksgiving. Fans are invited to donate five non-perishable food items including: canned fish or poultry; canned soup, fruit, stew, chili or beans; peanut butter; pasta; canned pasta sauce; 100% fruit juices; high fiber and non-sugar coated cereals. All food collected will be donated to local food banks/nutrition programs in each city.
A
select number of fans who donate five food items will receive one free
voucher to a local 2013 Maple Leaf Monster Jam show. Vouchers are
subject to availability* and discount coupons will be available on-site
for all who attend and do not receive a free ticket voucher.
In
each participating city, Monster Jam drivers will greet fans, sign
autographs and collect food donations, plus there will be entertainment
for the whole family including tattoo stations and crush-car decorating.
In Toronto and Hamilton, fans will have an opportunity to meet Meet Monster Jam star Cam McQueen and snap a photo with Canada's new world champion truck Northern Nightmare.
“The
Maple Leaf Monster Jam Tour is thrilled to be back in Canada for
another roaring season," said Amy Dubinsky, Feld Motor Sports Regional
VP of Event Marketing and Sales. “But hunger is a problem we can’t
ignore, and through our food drive efforts we hope to raise awareness
about the issue while helping those who are less fortunate this
Thanksgiving.”
