LeapFrog Interactive Soupy for Loopy Fundraiser

When:

Friday, November 2, 2007



Where:

LeapFrog Interactive
Louisville, Kentucky


On Friday, November 2, 2007, employees at LeapFrog Interactive in Louisville, Kentucky held a Soupy for Loopy Fundraiser. They brought in crock pots and cans of prepared soups and held a very special fundraising event, donating proceeds to Soupy for Loopy Foundation and educating staff members about Laura Sypek and Neuroblastoma.

Even though it may not have been Laura’s favorite soup, their kind gesture proves that anyone can have a Soupy for Loopy Fundraiser at any time, no matter what kind of soup is being served, and donate the proceeds to Soupy for Loopy Foundation to help make a difference and raise awareness and funds to find a cure for Neuroblastoma.

Thank you, LeapFrog Interactive, for doing this and for a great job on the website!

What:

Laura Sypek’s favorite tomato and elbow macaroni soup will be Soup of the Day



When:

Between the hours of 11:00 am and 8:00 pm



Where:

West Springfield, Massachusetts

Why:

B’Shara’s will donate all proceeds from the sale of Laura’s favorite soup sold on Saturday, October 13, 2007, to the Soupy for Loopy Foundation.


So come, sit down and have a bowl of Laura’s favorite soup. While you enjoy the soup, you will also help to find a cure for Neuroblastoma. We’re sure Laura would like that.

Save the date and spread the word to help find a cure. If you’re not certain where B’Shara’s is, just look for the purple balloons.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

A great big heartwarming THANKS goes out to everyone who made donations or enjoyed a bowl of Laura's favorite soup to show their support for the 2nd Annual Soupy for Loopy fundraising event in memory of Laura. Because of your overwhelming generosity and support, over 450 bowls of soup were sold at B'Shara's and over $15,000 was raised to help Soupy for Loopy Foundation find a cure for Neuroblastoma. While we are truly grateful for this outpouring of hometown support, we also recognize that this amount, although seemingly large, is only a small portion of what is needed to adequately fund a clinical trial. The mission of Soupy for Loopy Foundation, Inc. has only just begun. We look forward to your ongoing support.


A very special thanks to …


B’Shara’s Eatery for doing this again this year. You’re the best!

John Dombkowski at City Stamp Works, Inc. for getting the word out with great BIG signs for the town common

WPKX and WHYN-AM for getting the word out on the radio

Tom Coburn (West Springfield Record), Angela Carbone (The Republican) and Katelyn Gendron-List (The Reminder) for getting the word out in the newspaper

2006 Soupy for Loopy Fundraiser

As a tribute to Laura and her remarkable courage, family members along with B’Shara’s Eatery in West Springfield, Massachusetts hosted a “Soupy For Loopy” fundraiser for Neuroblastoma research on October 14th, 2006. That was the day that Laura would have turned 12. Many of Laura’s family, friends, classmates, teachers and townspeople came out to enjoy a bowl of Laura’s favorite soup and to help find a cure for Neuroblastoma. Over 400 bowls of Laura’s favorite soup were sold that day and over $3800 was raised for much needed research.
