About the Souper Bowl

The DVIP Souper Bowl raises funds for victims of intimate partner violence, human trafficking, stalking, and harassment in the 8 Southeastern Iowa counties that DVIP serves. This event was created by our current Executive Director, Kristie Fortmann-Doser, to challenge the myth that more violence occurs against women around the NFL Super Bowl. Violence against women, men, and children happens every day in our community, and around the world. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will be affected by intimate partner abuse in their lifetime. 

As DVIP and other victim service programs face a 25% funding cut, Alta Medea, Director of Community Engagement, states that “This event is vital because it provides the financial support to ensure our advocates are there when victim-survivors need them. In addition, the Souper Bowl demonstrates that we, as a community, support and believe victim-survivors. This event shows them that they are not alone.”

Thank you to our generous sponsors!

The Souper Bowl wouldn’t happen without the generosity of our community and sponsors!
