Tomorrow is the day — and it's only happening because of some truly incredible people.
The Big Community Soup — Presented by Your Locally Owned Canadian Tire, Northside & Southside is our first signature fundraiser, and getting here has taken a community. We want to take a moment, the night before, to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to every partner who believed in this event before a single bowl of soup was served.
To Kevin Soehner and Charlie Guitard at Your Locally Owned Canadian Tire, Northside & Southside — your presenting sponsorship made this whole thing possible. You didn't just write a cheque, you supported this idea from the start, and Fredericton is going to feel that tomorrow.
To OMISTA Credit Union — thank you for stepping up as the sponsor of our People's Choice Award. Your investment in local community is exactly what this event is all about.
To New Country 92.3 and the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce — your media support has helped us share this story far and wide. And Dave, we can't wait to have you on-site tomorrow.
To our Community Sponsors — Whitney Coffee Company, Chandler, Coveys, FLO Motion Productions, and Jill Drummond Mortgage Broker — every single one of you added something meaningful to this event. We are so grateful.
And to Angela Black and the team at Open Your Art — the handcrafted bowls that every guest takes home tomorrow exist because of you. That's not a small thing. That's the whole spirit of this event in a single gesture.
Five incredible culinary partners. One unforgettable afternoon.
It starts at 11:30 AM tomorrow at The Cultural Centre, 28 Saunders Street. A few tickets remain — grab yours at theculturalcentre.ca/big-community-soup
