The Souper Walk!

IMG_2099.jpeg

Our General Manager, Keith Yaeger, will be walking the 25-mile “Souper Jenny Trail” with goal of raising at least $20,000 for The Zadie Project on Saturday, March 14!

What’s the plan?   Keith is walking from one Souper Jenny location to the next, starting at our Roswell location 8am, then arriving in Brookhaven around 12pm, Buckhead by 2pm, and finally will finish at the Westside location by 4pm…all in all, three “legs”, 25 miles, in 8 hours.

What is the The Zadie Project?    The Zadie Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization helping to feed and educate children, families and seniors affected by food insecurity in Atlanta. The Project currently, through community partners, distributes 500+ quarts of soup per week to those in need.

Want to WALK with KEITH?  Last year, we had lots of people interested in walking with Keith.  So, this year we are opening each leg of the walk to FIVE people.  If you are interested in being one of the 15 Zadie Walkers (three legs, five walkers each), email Keith and let him know WHY you want to walk, WHICH of the legs you’d like to walk (NOTE: you can only pick one leg…we have our reasons, so choose wisely 😊), and if you think you could raise $300.  Each walker will receive a t-shirt, a SJ gift card, and lunch at their ending location.

How can I donate?   You can go to The Zadie Project website or come in for lunch at any location and make a donation there.  Contribute $20, or more, at any location on March 14th, and receive a FREE cup of soup then.  Keith would love donations of $25 - $1 per mile (or more if so inclined) with 100% going to The Zadie Project.  Don’t worry, he’s a positive guy and is in decent shape for an “old guy,” so he will definitely complete the full distance!
