Slurp Soup For A Cause In Downtown Cranford

CRANFORD, NJ — Downtown Cranford is partnering with Cranford High School's Project Graduation on Jan. 16 and 17, giving residents the opportunity to help two great causes.

Attendees who pick a time slot on either day can stroll through Downtown to view the superhero balloon sculptures by Dream Factory Balloons and to try the delicious soup tastings offered by local restaurants.

A ticket book for soup is $5, and participants can also buy a $5 goodie bag for kids age (approximately) 2-10, which will include superhero themed favors as well as a scavenger hunt sheet.

CHS Project Graduation is a drug and alcohol-free post-graduation celebration for Cranford HS seniors that keeps them safe and chaperoned. It's organized by a committee of parent volunteers in conjunction with the CHS PTSA. Since 1989, it has been held on the night of graduation. Donations are welcome.

The time slots are 12-2 p.m. or 2-4 p.m. either day.

Kids (and adults) should feel free to wear a cape or dress as their favorite superhero.
