30-Hour Famine

Famine Awards

The 30-Hour Famine is more about fighting hunger and being part of the solution to the global hunger crisis than being rewarded for your efforts. Still, a reward certainly doesn’t hurt! We can’t do this without you and we think your effort is worth celebrating. The Famine Team is thrilled to present Seiko watches to those who have contributed greatly to the 30-Hour Famine. We would like to thank Seiko for being a Principal Sponsor of the 30-Hour Famine for many years!
