Ukraine was invaded by Russia in February and the war there is raging.
“We wanted to wake people up about Ukraine. So we decided to break a record that’s for a good cause,” says 15-year-old Michael Kocher.
The cereal will go to a local food bank, and donors have so far contributed about $15,000 to the initiative.
“It’s great because we help globally as well as locally,” Kocher says.
