A great big heartwarming THANKS goes out to everyone who made donations, over 140 golfers who participated in our first golf outing and everyone who came out to join us for dinner in memory of Laura on her 14th birthday. From the emotional release of 14 purple balloons to mark the shotgun start to a filled-to-capacity banquet room, it was a memorable day. Because of your overwhelming generosity and support, over $20,000 was raised to help Soupy for Loopy Foundation find a cure for Neuroblastoma. We look forward to your ongoing support.


A very special thanks to East Mountain Country Club and staff for their hospitality and to all of our “souper” volunteers for their hard work and continuing commitment.


Special thanks to our HOLE-IN-ONE sponsors: Bertera, Fran Johnson’s and Teddy Bear Pools & Spas
