Souper Bowl of Caring
Tuesday - January 26, 2010
The Souper Bowl of Caring is the result of thousands of young people joining together to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities. This unique, youth-led movement of caring is transforming the nation's biggest weekend of football into its largest weekend of giving. Since the program started in 1990, over $61 million has been raised for local charities across the country. Join the team at www.souperbowl.org.
