Souper Bowl of Caring

Did you know that during Super Bowl week 2009, youth across the nation raised over $10 million for charities that help the hungry and the hurting through participating in Souper Bowl of Caring? Through this national movement, America's teens are transforming Super Bowl weekend into the nation's largest youth-led weekend of giving and serving.

I am involved in the Souper Bowl of Caring because it is a simple and meaningful way for youth to learn about the needs in their community and do something to help. They also learn that when we all work together, big things can happen.

I believe this movement is special and would like to invite you to get involved.

During the time around the Super Bowl, youth collect food or monetary donations. Each group donates their collection directly to the charity of their choice. Organizers simply ask that groups report their collection amount so a national total can be determined.

It’s this easy!

• Collect donations on or near Super Bowl Sunday.

(Churches typically collect on Super Bowl Sunday and schools collect between Jan. 27th and Feb. 4^th )

• Report your results at http://www.souperbowl.org for the country to see the power of caring. (Results will be reported by Miss Zelle)

• Donate 100% of your collection to the charity of your choice.  (We will be donating to local food pantries in our area)

America’s youth are working to make 2013 a record year for the Souper Bowl of Caring, by raising millions for hunger and poverty-related charities across the country. I hope you will choose to get involved in this grassroots, youth-led movement that is helping those around the country who are in need.
