LIVE UNITED Chili CookOff KickOff
October 9, 2010 – JC Public Library
Like it bold and hot? Maybe just a little bit spicy?

As we launch into our LIVE UNITED Campaign the Jennings County United Way would like to invite the entire community to be a part on October 9th - You decide how! You are invited to enter your chili, or just bring your family and friends to enjoy some family fun and sample everyone else’s! Chili will be judged by the community present, with “votes” being donations placed in voting jars.

Mary Hougland, chairperson for the kickoff has set a goal of raising $10,000. Contestants and community alike are encouraged to join in the 5K run/walk, bring family and friends, let the kids enjoy jumps and play family friendly games, sample the chili contest entries, vote for your favorites and then sit down together with family, and friends to enjoy a bowl of UNITED Chili. You don't have to bring chili to come be a part, you don't even have to *like* chili! Retired Navy Chef Chief Massey’s Ship Grilled Cheese Sandwiches will be available for $1 each.

Bringing people together to advance the common good.
United Way was built on the belief that together, we can accomplish more than any individual or organization can alone. We're bringing together the hearts, hands and minds (and on Oct 9th the chili!) of our community to make it the best place possible for children and families. It's a big goal. A brighter vision of the future shared by individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. Lend yours to the movement. United, there's nothing we can't do.
