Souper Bowl XXIII to raise money for UW Habitat Chapter

Souper Bowl XXIII will be held at Madison West High School on Saturday, Feb. 2 from 12-6 p.m. The community soup feast has become a Madison tradition since 1995 and is the largest fundraiser for the UW-Madison student chapter of Habitat for Humanity of Dane County. Last year’s event served more than 1,400 attendees over 200 gallons of soup!

Attendees begin by choosing a locally-made ceramic bowl from hundreds of handmade bowls displayed. After choosing a bowl, attendees receive the soup of their choice, salad, bread and desserts. Next, attendees enjoy a wide-variety of entertainment including celebrity soup servers, an acapella singing group, the UW marching band and Bucky Badger, to name a few.

The cost is $15 for a bowl (soup, salad, bread and dessert included) or $35 for a family of four (four meals and two bowls included).

This 23^rd annual event started in 1995 with 50 attendees. Last year’s event was attended by more than 1,400 and raised more than $29,000 to help build affordable housing throughout Dane County.
