MANCHESTER, CT — The Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is collaborating with J Russo Productions to create a special version of Family Feud.

Te local game show will feature First Responders and Essential Personnel teams from Manchester answering survey questions previously posed to our social media followers. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the winning teams' non-profit of choice.

The Front Line Feud will allow the chamber to raise funds by offering sponsorships during the production in the form of "commercials" and "credits."
