MCLEAN,
Va., June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Acentra
Health CEO Todd Stottlemyer was
recognized by No Kid Hungry as a Champion in the fight to end
childhood hunger at the non-profit organization's annual
fundraising dinner in Washington
D.C., which raised more than $1
million dollars. The non-profit organization lauded
Stottlemyer's near decade of advocacy for No Kid Hungry including
his leadership in galvanizing a network of tech leaders in the D.C.
region that raised over $1 million at
the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"This dinner gives us an opportunity to celebrate the commitment
of local leaders who are making an impact for children in their
community and to raise resources to continue ensuring every child
receives three meals a day," says Billy
Shore, founder and executive chair of Share Our Strength.
"No Kid Hungry is grateful for the servant leadership of each of
our Champions for using their unique strengths to fight to end
childhood hunger." Virginia Ali,
co-founder of Ben's Chili Bowl, and Erik
Bruner-Yang, chef and owner of Maketto, were also honored as
No Kid Hungry Champions.
In recognizing Stottlemyer's support of No Kid Hungry, event
emcee Kristen Welker, co-anchor of
weekend TODAY and NBC News Chief White House Correspondent, noted
his chairmanship in leading Tech Steps Up for No Kid Hungry. The
2020 initiative sought to ensure school-aged children in the D.C.
region could continue to access nutritious meals during the
pandemic despite the switch from in-school to remote learning.
Welker also noted Stottlemyer's ongoing efforts in engaging others
in the fight against childhood hunger.
"I am honored and humbled to be recognized by No Kid Hungry in
supporting their vital mission to end childhood hunger," said
Stottlemyer. "This year alone, a staggering 1 in 8 kids in America
will face hunger. I am grateful to join with No Kid Hungry, the
tech community, and my team at Acentra Health in this imperative
effort to improve outcomes for children by providing access to
nutritious meals."
Giving back to local communities is a core value that
Stottlemyer has championed at the companies he has led, including
Acentra Health, which was formed by the recent merger of CNSI and
Kepro. In 2022, Acentra Health and its employees donated to No Kid
Hungry as part of the company's annual "Be the Light" matching
campaign to fight hunger. Also, in celebration of the company's
rebranding in June 2023, the company
will make a donation to No Kid Hungry for each employee who
mentions @Acentra Health on their LinkedIn profile.
