Customer Centricity President to Participate in 36th Annual CROP WALK for Hunger

Program designed to raise money for hunger-fighting programs locally and in over 80 countries globally

Hudson, New Hampshire, September 19, 2005: Customer Centricity, Inc. announced that its president and founder, Craig Bailey, will be participating in the 36th annual CROP WALK sponsored by the Church World Service.  Each year, the CROP WALK brings groups from over 2,000 communities together to raise money and awareness to fight hunger through affiliated agencies in over 80 countries.  CROP WALKs help to provide tools of hope that empower people to meet their own needs.  From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to nutrition-enhancing Morgina trees, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key goal of the program is to bring people together to identify their own development priorities, their own strengths and their needs.  In addition, each local CROP WALK can choose to return up to 25 percent of the funds it raises to local hunger-fighting programs.

"I believe that it is important that we all find ways of giving back to our communities," said Craig Bailey.  "The CROP WALK is one way that I have found to make a personal contribution.  This is the third straight year that I have participated and I plan to continue this in the future.  I have been able to leverage my newsletter to spread awareness not only of this great program, but of the underlying problems it aims to help solve. "
