The Superior High School DECA club has taken on a community service project to help raise awareness on hunger in Superior. The student organization is hosting a “Fill the Bowl” fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013. The event ticket is $10 and includes all you can eat soup, salad and bread. There will be three soups to choose from including beef posole, chicken noodle soup and a vegetable soup. These bowls are not just your average soup bowls, they are bowls that have been decorated by the students, local artists, business owners and community leaders. All proceeds raised will benefit the Superior Food Bank. The food bank plans on using these funds to assist with holiday food boxes for those in need in Superior.
The students have been researching statistics on hunger. During their presentation to the Superior School Board these statistics were what encouraged these students to host this important community event to raise awareness on hunger and gain support for the Superior Food Bank.
DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. The SHS DECA club is becoming more involved in state and regional activities. This event is one that they plan to use in their event competition this coming spring.
Event organizers would like to have a head count for the event, please call the DECA Advisor, Christine Martinez at the high school at 520-689-3100 to reserve your tickets. Pre-sale tickets can be purchased through DECA members as well.
