Several
J.C. Hart Associates teamed up to participate in
Million
Meal Movement's inaugural
"March Madness" tournament,
where they asked companies to volunteer to pack meals for hungry Hoosiers, but
in a competitive fashion. Nine companies competed in a single elimination
bracket style contest to see who could pack a box of 36 meals the fastest. Many
thanks to
Christopher Clark, Tammy Page, Julie McHale, Michelle Norman, Abby
Wilkinson, Matty Jacobs, Jane Gosling, Diana Eichman &
Tracie Kraft
who gave it their best effort, even though they followed the likes of Purdue
and went out in the first round. However, with their competitive juices
flowing, and their Core Values of
Passion and
Teamwork evident, when the
Carmax team
was short-handed,
Julie, Michelle, Abby, Matty, Diana, Tracie, and
Jane
stepped up to lend a hand and helped Carmax win their first competition, only
to lose in their second round (like Indiana) to the eventual overall winners,
Ace Hardware. Were we team Car-Hart? Team JC-Max? We couldn't quite decide, but
we definitely felt like winners in the end, knowing we had helped supply some
eventual hot meals to fellow Hoosiers in need. We are already looking forward
to the Million Meal Movement’s fall Marathon food packing event and next year's
March Madness tournament, so we can up our game, earn some bragging rights, and
bring home the winners’ trophy.
