Elevated Community Health is excited to share that Soup for the Soul 2026 was a record-setting success. Thanks to the support of our incredible community, this year’s event raised $241K, surpassing last year’s total of $230K and setting a new milestone for this cherished fundraiser.  

“I want to share my sincere gratitude with everyone who joined us on Saturday, March 21 at the Keystone Conference Center for this year’s Soup for the Soul fundraiser, as well as those who supported the event from afar,” said Josh Cogdill, CEO of Elevated Community Health. “Because of you, this year’s Soup for the Soul was a record setting success. That number represents far more than a financial milestone. It reflects a community that believes in accessible, high-quality healthcare and shows up again and again to make it possible.” 

Soup for the Soul 2026 was an unforgettable evening of community connection, great food, live music, and celebration. Guests enjoyed a variety of chef curated soups and thoughtfully paired accompaniments, giving everyone plenty of options to sample and savor throughout the night.  

Entertainment for the evening was provided by HomeSlice, a dynamic nine-piece band known for high energy and crowd-pleasing performances. Many guests took to the dance floor and enjoyed the lively atmosphere, while others relaxed in the Chill Lounge to catch up with friends, enjoy a drink, and recharge before joining the festivities again.

Beyond the food and music, the event brought people together to support a mission that matters. Elevated Community Health exists to be the healthcare safety net for our region, offering medical, dental, and behavioral health services along with school-based health centers, work-based care, and patient assistance programs.
