The Seth Burton Memorial Inc. has once again demonstrated its commitment to the Soup Opera, raising over $16,000 through its annual Ice Bowl Tournament. This disc golf event, held in February, is crucial for supporting the Soup Opera, especially during the post-holiday period when charitable giving often dips. The foundation's total contributions to the Soup Opera now exceed $122,000.
The Ice Bowl is more than a local tradition; it's a nationally recognized disc golf competition that draws participants from across the country. Since its charity tradition began in 1996, the Ice Bowl event nationwide has collectively donated significant food and funds to various local charities. This initiative allows disc golf enthusiasts to give back to their communities through their beloved sport.
The Fairmont Flyers Disc Golf Club, instrumental in organizing the event, was formed out of a passion for the Seth Burton Memorial Disc Golf Course. This course is highly regarded nationally and attracts professional players. The ongoing success of the Ice Bowl ensures the Soup Opera's vital services, which are available year-round to everyone with no questions asked, continue uninterrupted.
