The generosity of the AVON FALCON community throughout this friendly competition was outstanding! The outpouring of support from families helping those in need was amazing and could not have been more appreciated. It was also exciting to see the increase in participation versus last year’s competition throughout both communities.
Four of the five Avon schools participated in the SOUPer BOWL this year. At the High School specifically, there were various groups who directly supported this event. Music Service Society (MSS) as well as the Football and Volleyball teams collected donations at their respective events. Donations were also collected at the Girls Powderpuff Football Game.
FAME, PTO and the Booster Club also participated. Avon Prime Meats, a local business, generously donated after hearing about this event and allowed members from the Boys Golf and Boys Lacrosse teams to solicit donations at the store.
In total, $4,524 and 1,869 lbs. of food were collected on behalf of both charities. Avon collected an OUTSTANDING $2,390 and 1,530 lbs. of food for Gifts of Love. Simsbury donations collected an impressive $2,134 and 339 lbs. of food in support of the Simsbury Food Closet. Representatives from both charities were absolutely amazed at the levels of giving over the past two years.
A sincere, heart-felt THANK YOU to all students and families for their tremendous generosity and showing that AVON pride and spirit!
