PICKiling the Best to Help Raise Money for Camp Out for Hunger!
WMMR’s Preston & Steve Created a Limited-Edition Flavor with Fishtown Pickle Project to Help Raise Money for the Annual Camp Out for Hunger
With the 25th Preston & Steve Camp Out for Hunger right around the corner, the Philadelphia-based company, Fishtown Pickle Project (FPP) collaborated with WMMR’s popular Radio Show & their hosts to help fight hunger in the City of Brotherly Love.
And to that accord, the new pickle flavor was based on Preston Elliot’s love of FPP’s Zesty Sweet Garlic jarred pickles and partnered with Co-owners Mike Sicinski and Niki Toscani to create “Prestons’ Picks.”
“I'm a pickle fanatic and was blown away by Mike and Niki's pickles when I first tried them last year,” said Preston. He continued, “I'm not exaggerating when I say they are the best pickles I've ever eaten.”
By now, you’re probably wondering what will it taste like? The new Fishtown Pickle Project’s tasting profile was built for you to experience warm spices with a zesty brine. And as usual, the amazing duo, Sicinski and Toscani, created it so that locally-sourced cucumber spears and mildly hot banana peppers could soak in all of Preston’s suggestions, resulting in a piquant combination of sweet, spicy, garlicky, crunchy deliciousness.
“We had a blast coming up with this special product for Preston, and we are thrilled that a portion of proceeds from sales will benefit Philabundance,” said Toscani. “Camp Out for Hunger does so much to help combat hunger, and we’re really happy to work alongside such great people doing incredible things for the community. Simply put: eat Preston’s pickles, fight hunger.”
The limited-edition batch is on-sale at http://fishtownpickles.com for $14.50 per jar, and at farmers’ markets on the weekends while supplies last, with a portion of sales donated directly to Philabundance.
“I am so excited that they asked me to partner with them on this product and raise some much-needed funding for Philabundance as part of our annual Camp Out for Hunger. If you're a brine head like me, you are going to love these pickles!” Preston Elliot emphatically stated.
Preston & Steve’s Camp Out for Hunger 2022 will take place from November 7th through the 11th in the parking lot of Xfinity Live! inside the Wells Fargo Center Complex. You can learn more by visiting wmmr.com/campout.
