The month of February is a time full of love and giving and what better way to celebrate than with events that give back to your community.
Here is a rundown of the top charity events to visit each weekend this month.
Coligny Plaza’s SouperBowl of Caring
This annual event allows you to sample delicious soups from Coligny’s restaurants while also giving back to your community.
