The Tug in Waterloo


On Tuesday, September 4, people from the Waterloo/Cedar Falls community came together for the second annual Tuggin' For Kids tug-of-war to raise money for childhood hunger relief.

All together, more than $13,000 was raised for a great cause as part of the Tyson Foods Powering the Spirit program. Seventy-five percent of the funds will remain in the Waterloo Area to benefit programs offered by the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. Twenty-five percent benefits national hunger and poverty relief organization Share Our Strength.

Some got wet, some got muddy. All had a good time for a great cause.
