Today, I’m officially launching one of my most ambitious pursuits yet.
Along with my good friend and co-National Egg Toss Champion Mike Hepp, we’re seeking sponsorship to help us attend the World Egg Throwing Championship this June in England. Along the way, we’re also hoping to raise money for hunger-related charities.
Part of our pitch to potential egg-related sponsors is www.TossingForHunger.com. Right now, the site is merely a shell of our vision. With a sponsor’s help, we hope to make it a full-fledged site, complete with a fundraising page and blog.
We realize it may be a long shot, but we’re tossing everything we’ve got at this project. In the coming days and weeks, we’ll be reaching out to potential sponsors and asking them to help make this dream a reality. Of course, we’ll also be eating eggs. Lots and lots of eggs. At least two each day.
In the mean time, please visit the site and watch our video, follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and feel free to tell anyone and everyone you know about our mission.
Enjoy. And may God bless America and her delicious, nutritious eggs.

Hi Jon!
I certainly wish you and Mike success in finding a sponsor and making it to the world championships in England. I do hope, however, that it doesn’t keep you from returning to Spivey’s Corner for the National Hollerin’ Contest on the third Saturday in June. My wife and I love reading about all of your contest adventures and want you to follow your bliss, especially when it can help fight hunger. But Spivey’s Corner needs you! You witnessed it last year. We need every voice and spectator we can get!
