At God’s Love We Deliver, our mission is to provide nutritious, medically tailored meals to those in need, and we are only able to achieve this because of the steadfast support of partners like Bloomberg. On August 6th, we had the privilege of participating in Bloomberg’s BOBlympics, a vibrant celebration of philanthropy, camaraderie, and community impact. This event was more than just a trivia competition; it was a powerful demonstration of Bloomberg’s commitment to making a difference.

As we joined 100 enthusiastic Bloomberg employees and fellow nonprofits in the spirit of friendly competition, we were reminded once again of the extraordinary generosity that has been a hallmark of Bloomberg’s support over the years. We are particularly grateful to our celebrity ambassadors, Erich Bergen and Melba Wilson, who brought their energy and passion to the event, making the experience even more memorable for everyone involved.

We would like to extend a special thank you to our trustee, Jonathan Raiola, and Nancy Cutler, Americas Head of Corporate Philanthropy at Bloomberg LP, for their extraordinary support in making this event a success. Their dedication to our cause has been invaluable, and we are deeply appreciative of their leadership and commitment. Additionally, our heartfelt thanks go to trustee Cindy Secunda for her unwavering support and for always championing our mission and for joining us on this incredibly fun day.

The BOBlympics highlighted the fun side of philanthropy, but beneath the laughter and excitement was a deep sense of purpose. Bloomberg’s ongoing support has enabled us to continue our life-saving work, delivering meals and hope to thousands of individuals each year. Their belief in our mission has been a beacon of hope for our clients, especially during the most challenging times.

We were proud to be joined by fellow nonprofits KultureCity, represented by original Hamilton cast member Christopher Jackson and actor Kelly AuCoin, and the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club, represented by former Yankees and Mets pitcher Dwight “Dr. K” Gooden.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Bloomberg for their unwavering commitment to our cause. Your decades-long partnership has not only sustained our work but has also inspired us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in service to our community. We look forward to many more years of collaboration and to continuing to make a difference together.

Thank you, Bloomberg, for standing with us, for believing in our mission, and for being champions of change.
