Annual Bowls for Hope event invites charitable organization requests

 

October 25, 2018 - Each year the University of Wisconsin-River Falls works with the community to raise funds through the Bowls for Hope event where proceeds raised help a worthy nonprofit organization make a difference in the St. Croix Valley. Applications are now open for the 2019 recipient of this charity event.

The 10th Annual Bowls for Hope event is Tuesday, March 5, 2019, from 5-7 p.m. in the Riverview Ballroom in the University Center.

To be considered for the 2019 Bowls for Hope proceeds to benefit your St. Croix Valley nonprofit organization, complete the 2019 Request for Funds form found at https://www.uwrf.edu/BowlsForHope/. Interested charitable organizations should submit their requests online by Monday, Dec. 3.

At the event in March, for an entrance fee of $25/adult and $5/children age 12 and under, participants may select and keep a bowl created in glass/ceramic/pottery classes at UWRF, River Falls High School, Meyer Middle School, the Renaissance Academy, or by area artists. Attendees may also sample, at no extra charge, soups donated and served by area restaurants. Participants have the opportunity to vote for their favorite soup and a Chefs’ Choice Award will be awarded to the soup favored by the chefs participating in the event.

The 2018 Bowls for Hope event raised $6,500 for Family Resource Center St. Croix Valley. Since 2010, Bowls for Hope has raised more than $52,500 for local charitable organizations.
