Soup’s On Satisfying Community Support for Heart & Stroke Foundation

2/10/2012

 
The third annual “Soup’s On” event in support of the Heart & Stroke Foundation took place on Thursday (February 9) at St. Anne’s Centre in St. Thomas. The well attended event has become a popular lunch-time February getaway, one in which a host of community members come together in aid of a good cause. Eleven local restaurants and businesses competed for the coveted People's Choice Award for their soup with the proceeds supporting Heart and Stroke Research. (Photos by Mark Girdauskas) 

The Cause – The Heart & Stroke Foundation

February is Heart Month. Heart and Stroke take 1 in 3 Canadians before their time. A recent ad campaign centred on the “Make Death Wait” slogan has many people taking pause to consider prevention and donating toward research and education. Find out more at http://www.heartandstroke.ca/.

The Judges

A celebrity panel made up of Mayor Heather Jackson, MPP Jeff Yurek, Sara Lagrove (MyFM) and Ellen Lacroix (Superstore) judged the soups to determine the Judges Choice Award. Attendees voted on the Peoples Choice Award. There was also an award this year for Best Display.
