Athens Area Mediation Service will not hold our SouperBowl fundraiser next year, in 2025.

It has been increasingly difficult to secure enough handmade bowls to hold the event, and we simply cannot make our quota for our regularly scheduled winter SouperBowl. We are hopeful that we might be able to hold a SouperBowl in 2026, but that will depend on our capacity to procure enough bowls to do so.

We will miss seeing all of our friends and supporters, but rest assured that we are still in business conducting mediations and training as requested by community members, organizations, and our valued partners.

We are truly grateful for the donations of food, bowls, and moral support we’ve received over the years from local restaurants and other businesses, including the Dairy Barn! Without you, we could not have enjoyed such successful SouperBowls in years past. We are also grateful to the following partners and funders: the JAMS Foundation, the National Association for Community Mediation, the Athens County Foundation, and the Athens County Department of Job and Family Services and OhioMeansJobs.

As a nonprofit organization we benefit greatly from our donors’ and funders’ financial support. Please consider making a donation to support our important community mediation work at https://athensmediation.org/

Thank you, happy holidays, and we’ll see you next year!

Sincerely,
Athens Area Mediation Service board of directors and Cynthia Tindongan, PhD, Executive Director
