What’s New!
New Fundraising Tool: Impact Marketplace
Each participating club receives its own branded Impact Marketplace where supporters can purchase products and over 400 national gift cards. A portion of each sale goes toward the club’s Hunger Strike total.
Early Access Starting June 16
Clubs can access their fundraising pages and begin forming teams ahead of the October 1 launch, giving them more time to engage members and promote their cause.
All Marketplace Sales Count Toward Totals
Any contributions generated through a club’s Impact Marketplace between June 16 and November 3 will be credited toward that club’s final fundraising total.
Public Service Announcements for Each Club
Every club will receive a professionally produced, 60-second radio PSA voiced by national TV and radio personality Gill Gross, promoting their participation in Hunger Strike.
District-Wide PSA Campaign
In addition to club-specific PSAs, a district-wide campaign will air on major radio stations encouraging the public to support local clubs, form teams, and get involved.
Freedom to Host Custom Events
Clubs are encouraged to host their own unique Hunger Strike events—like trivia nights, community picnics, fitness challenges, or other creative fundraisers—alongside or in place of the traditional competitions.
Expanded Membership Opportunity
Hunger Strike is now being positioned as a high-visibility community engagement and membership campaign, helping clubs attract new members and strengthen local partnerships.
NOTE: Club and community links will be available on June 16, 2025
