February 1, 2009 - Souper Bowl Sunday - Day of Caring

America's teens are transforming Super Bowl weekend into the nation's largest youth-led weekend of giving and serving through the Souper Bowl of Caring.

Last year, youth across the nation raised over $10 million for charities through participating in Souper Bowl of Caring.

I am writing to encourage you to get involved with this simple movement of God’s love in 2009.

On Souper Bowl Sunday, February 1, 2009 youth will collect one-dollar donations.

Each group will donate their money directly to the charity of their choice—no money is sent to Souper Bowl of Caring headquarters.

Organizers simply ask that groups report their collection amount so a national total can be determined.

It’s this easy!
• Register at www.souperbowl.org or call 1-800-358-SOUP (7687) to receive your free promotional materials.
• Collect donations on or near Super Bowl Sunday.
• Report your results at http://www.souperbowl.org for the country to see the power of caring.
• Donate 100% of your collection to the charity of your choice. In addition, if you would like to add a hands-on component to this event, your group can participate in the Service Blitz by getting out and serving at a local charity.

I hope you will choose to get involved in this grassroots, youth movement that is truly helping to serve “the least of these.”
