Join Westgate City Center, DeVry University, and six high schools from the west Valley for the second annual Bowls for the Hungry event to benefit the Kids Cafe program at St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.
About 150 business and marketing students from high schools representing Raymond S. Kellis, Copper Canyon, La Joya Community, Desert Heights Preparatory Academy, Tolleson and Willow Canyon are creating and painting handmade ceramic bowls that will be sold at a silent auction on Dec. 15th at the Westgate City Center prior to the Edmonton Oilers-Phoenix Coyotes hockey game. Howler, the Coyotes mascot, will be on-site to shake paws and sign autographs.
Many Westgate businesses and retailers will also be auctioning off bowls with prize packages (Howler’s bowl with Coyotes Tickets, Yard House with $50 gift certificate, Shout House with Happy Hour party, etc.)
In addition to the auction, the public is invited to participate in a simultaneous food drive, where ten cans of food will earn a bowl painted by an area high school student. The food drive is also open to the public from Nov. 28 through Dec. 14 at all Valley DeVry University/Keller Graduate School of Management locations including the Phoenix campus (2149 W. Dunlap Avenue), Glendale Center (6751 N. Sunset Blvd., Suite E104), Mesa Center 1201 S. Alma School Rd., Suite 5450) and northeast Phoenix (18500 N. Allied Way, Suite 150).
All proceeds will benefit the St. Mary’s Kids Cafe program, which provide an after-school meal for more than 3,000 at risk children each day.
