While the "Big Game" has come and gone, the need for awareness of issues faced by those in distress in our community has a long way to reach the end zone.

Domestic violence awareness causes and issues are the focus of an organization hosting a "Souper Bowl"-themed event based in Iowa City on February 25, according to KWWL. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program's Director of Community Engagement, Alta Madea-Peters described the event's goals:

This fundraiser is a way for us to both increase awareness, to change the conversation to really focus about the needs of victims, survivors and their experiences while also raising much needed funding for the services that we provide to our community

10 restaurants are participating in the event, providing soup for the fundraiser. The soups will be available for pick-up or local delivery with ticket purchase and will come with a commemorative mug.
