Customer Centricity President to Participate in Annual CROP WALK for Hunger

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

Hudson, New Hampshire, October 9, 2006: Customer Centricity, Inc. announced that its president and founder, Craig Bailey, will be participating in the 37th 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 in over 80 countries through individual fund-raising events.  This year's local event will be held in Nashua, New Hampshire on Sunday October 22, 2006.  The CROP WALK program helps provide tools of hope that empower people to meet their own needs.  Each local CROP WALK event can also choose to return a portion of the proceeds to local hunger-fighting programs.

"I believe that it is important that we all find ways of giving back to our communities," said Bailey.  "This is the fourth consecutive year I have participated.  It is such a great program.  The CROP WALK allows me to make a personal contribution -- not only by giving, but by meeting other similarly committed people working to fight hunger on the walk itself."

Last year's CROP WALK raised over $16 million globally to support the hunger-fighting work of the Church World Service, both locally and around the world.  Those resources were used to provide wells, seeds, tools, and training to African farmers -- most of whom are women.  In addition, the funds provided emergency medical supplies for hurricane victims in the Gulf States in the U.S., tents and blankets for Pakistani families devastated by an earthquake, and vocational training for Latin American street children.
