Winter Park Rotary to Host Annual Chili for Charity Event

Winter Park's Rotary club will once again host the organization's annual Chili for Charity event at the Winter Park Events Center on February 23rd from 5-9 pm. Winter Park's finest restaurants will create their own special chili for guests to enjoy at the newly opened venue. The goal is to raise $200,000 in funds for charities with entertainment by local performers, unique raffle prizes, a free trip giveaway, and of course, the club's famous heated chili competition.

Rotary Winter Park announced the fundraiser in a press release on their site:

"Register on this site to order tickets to the event, make a donation and receive a thank-you raffle ticket for a chance to win a dream vacation, donate to the Foundation, and bid on the trips and other auction items. The Winter Park Rotary Club Foundation serves as your link to over thirty 501c3 charities that make significant contributions to the wellbeing of our extraordinary community. With your financial commitment, the Foundation supports children, families, and other fellow citizens needing food, employment, education, and health services. Without your financial support, the Foundation cannot make grants in its traditional amounts – amounts these organizations desperately need at a time when resources are stretched thinner than ever. 

"Can you remember when there has been a greater need for helping hands to pull through these tough times together?

"You can help support our mission by bidding on one of the fabulous trips available in our Trips of a Lifetime virtual silent auction. These trips have been donated by our Nonprofit Partner, AmFund."
