Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, took a hands-on approach to philanthropy this offseason, rolling up his sleeves to support an event at the La Soupe food bank in Walnut Hills.
This heartwarming gesture, organized by Guinness Gives Back, resulted in a significant donation of $500,000 to Burrow’s own Joe Burrow Foundation, marking a shining moment for his charitable efforts in combating food insecurity for the underprivileged.
The collaboration between Burrow’s Foundation and the Guinness service event placed Burrow at the forefront alongside other volunteers. His involvement not only fostered a meaningful partnership with Guinness but also made a significant impact in addressing food insecurity in Cincinnati, as highlighted by WLWT.
Additionally, the event served as an early celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, promoting the spirit of the feast day.
Established in 2022, the partnership between Burrow’s Foundation and Guinness has amplified the impact of Burrow’s initiative, founded in 2019 after his Heisman win. With key partnerships with Jeff Ruby, Kroger Health, Sugar Creek, and others, the Joe Burrow Foundation has steadily expanded its reach.
This generous donation further empowers Burrow’s Foundation to tackle hunger and its associated challenges in Cincinnati, providing a boost to investors from Ohio and Louisiana who have supported the program since its inception.
The success of the event was bolstered by the involvement of La Soupe, a nonprofit organization aligned with the mission of the Burrow Foundation. In Cincinnati, where over 270,000 households face food insecurity, collaborative efforts between Burrow, Guinness, and La Soupe play a crucial role in addressing this pressing issue.
