The South Carolina Chili Cook-Off Championship has become one of Upstate South Carolina's premier charity fundraisers. A family-oriented community event, the Cook-off is definitely one of those situations to which the phrase "the more, the merrier" applies! We would love to have every business, family, church, and civic organization in our area be involved--and there are lots of ways to do that.
You can get right to the heart of the event by being a chili cook-off contender (individuals and teams are both welcome!), you can be a sponsor (levels range from $25 to however generous you're inclined to be!), you can be a vendor (great way to raise money for your nonprofit organization!), or you can just come out the day of the event to sample the chili and enjoy the fun.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have questions. We look forward to partnering with you to celebrate all that's good about our community and to help it become even better!
HOT TIP:The first chile powders were created around 1850 by chuckwagon cooks on the trail to feed cowboys.
