Who knew some steaming crock pots of soup and a bunch of hungry - and generous - folks could raise $703 for ovarian cancer research?
Yesterday, some of my work friends and I put on a "souper" event as part of Team Tina's fundraising efforts for the Run for Ovarian Cancer. I had many volunteer chefs, servers and ticket sellers/takers. Many bought tickets (or just gave donations) and enjoyed the delicious soup. A fellow cancer survivor donated a beautiful knit shawl in teal - the colour of ovarian cancer awareness - for us to raffle off.
It was an amazing success. We more than doubled the amount we raised last year and all the chefs received kudos on their soups. We also heard requests to keep doing the event because it's so much fun.
It was an amazing team effort, and I'm so very grateful for all the support.
So today I'm feeling very thankful.

Tina,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the success of your soup fund raiser. $703, not bad at all!
Feeling thankful is a good way to feel isn't it?
Good luck with your race, Tina.
