Speaking about the contest, Governor McDonnell said, "The first annual Governor's Bowl was an unprecedented statewide effort to reduce hunger in the Commonwealth. Today I renew my challenge to both the private and public sector so that together we may cement this tradition in Virginia in perpetuity. I am confident that our partners at the Virginia Chambers of Commerce, the Federation of Virginia Food Banks, and state government agencies will build upon last year's extraordinary success. Ending hunger starts with each of us, and Virginia's civic and business leaders."
