Soups & Ciders

We are SOUP-er excited to bring back Forge Young Talent’s Fifth Annual Soups & Ciders, presented by Farmers Insurance, Jarred White!

Join us for a cozy fall evening of:

Local Soup: Sample soups from Topeka restaurants and caterers and vote for your SOUP-reme favorite

Cider: Enjoy cider provided by Crown Distributors

Networking: Connect with fellow young professionals in a relaxed fall setting

Bartlett & West's outdoor patio: Enjoy a space that is anything but your average corporate setting, including their walk out patio, weather permitting

Giving Back: As part of our Forge volunteer initiative, we will be partnering with TARC to create keepsake ornaments from retired Winter Wonderland light bulbs. Since 1954, TARC has been committed to advocating for individuals with disabilities by providing support, services, and opportunities for people of all ages. Their programs promote independence, enrich lives, and foster inclusion throughout our community.

Come for the soup. Stay for the cider. Make some new connections. Help us make this year’s Soups & Ciders a SOUP-er turnout!
