PL AYBOOK BE A GAMECHANGER! Congratulations! You are now part of Souper Bowl of Caring. You’re joining schools, churches, businesses, community organizations and compassionate individuals in a national movement of caring.
SM
YOU’RE THREE STEPS AWAY FROM
CHANGING THE GAME. When you give 100% of your donation directly to the charity of your choice, you provide shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry and compassion to those in need. Through Souper Bowl of Caring, you are making a difference and changing lives. And that’s the best way to change the game.
1.
COLLECT during your designated period. Schools can collect donations in each classroom or at a central location. Places of worship can station youth members at all exits to collect donations in soup pots. Businesses can create an interoffice competition. Individuals can pass a hat around at their annual party.
2. 3.
REPORT your collection as soon as possible to add it to the national total and give all Souper Bowl of Caring participants something to celebrate. Report online at souperbowl.org or call 1 (800) 358-SOUP (7687).
DONATE 100% of your collection to the charity you’ve chosen. Work with the charity to coordinate donation drop off. Be sure to let them know that your efforts were through the Souper Bowl of Caring movement.
After these three steps have been completed, you and the community have become the real winners of the Big Game. Be sure to celebrate this win with your group, like making announcements at a school assembly, worship session or office meeting!

THE GAME IS BIG.
OUR MISSION IS BIGGER.
Since 1990, young people have been leading the charge and inspiring others to collect dollars and food around the time of the Big Game. These groups then give 100% of their donations to local charities. More than $110 million has been collected, changing the nation’s largest weekend of football into the largest weekend of caring.
