We had over 200 participants attend our annual Chili Cook-Off this month! Besides all the excellent entertainment, we had award winning chili to taste, teen parent testimonies and so much great fellowship.
This year was our first ever paddle raise and we are humbled to announce we more than doubled our typical Chili Cook-Off gift income. We raised $6,740 because of our very generous supporters.
We had giving levels.
- Childcare Assistance $50
- Life Education Classes $150
- Professional Counseling $300
A HUGE shout out to our winners.
