Ambassador Program

If you have been impacted by your participation in Souper Bowl of Caring, we encourage you to seek out opportunities to share Souper Bowl of Caring with others. Let them know that they, too, are able to make a difference in their own community, while serving those who are in need. It’s easy: all you have to do is share your experience and encourage others to join you in the fight against hunger! As a Souper Bowl of Caring Ambassador, you will be a tremendous help in growing involvement.

The task is simple:

  • Spread the word to at least one organization who hasn’t heard about the Souper Bowl of Caring.
  • Make sure the organization registers for the 2009 Souper Bowl of Caring so that they may receive their owner’s manual.
  • Follow-up with the organization after the event to make sure they have reported their totals at www.souperbowl.org or by calling 800-358-7687.
