Here we GO! If it’s May we must be
Fighting Hunger with Food From The Bar!


In fact, Munger Tolles & Olson will be going ALL IN FOR FFTB!


All month long, Munger Tolles will be helping our local foodbanks prepare to deliver nourishing meals to at-risk children during summer break as well as assisting seniors and others who will never see a school meal and may be hungry regardless of season.

In 2019, we’ll again host the campaign kick-off event The Munger Games (April 25), a highly competitive trivia contest that pits more than a dozen law firms and other teams against each other for bragging rights while raising thousands of dollars. ALS’s Priv Log Dogs will be stiff competition.
We’ll also participate in the late-in-the-campaign FFTB Poker Night (May 29) when the players from all over the campaign sit down to test their card-smarts and nerves to see who take the donations kitty home to their FFTB campaign.

During those events lawyers and others compete head to head to collect points and raise awareness of the campaign. In between, Team MTO will be working in-house on events and activities that make it fun and easy to contribute to the campaign.

We work hard on the campaign to nourish our hungry neighbors but we’re also out for a little glory. Let’s bring home the FFTB Trophy! We have been leaders in this campaign from the start and we hope to again capture the top award in 2019. We can do it if we all GO ALL IN FOR FFTB!
