Chi Omega Chili Cookoff Results.

The Theta Kappa Chapter of Chi Omega established the Make-A-Wish Foundation as the Chapter’s philanthropy in 2000.  Every year, Chi Omega presents its annual Chili Cookoff in order to raise money to help grant a wish of a child living with a life-threatening medical condition.

The Cookoff this year occurred on November 12 in the Bill Danielson Student Center. 

On Monday, during Chi O’s weekly Meeting, President Kelsey Riley revealed the total amount collected from the event.  The Cookoff itself raised more than $11,000.

Due to the rain, ATO Bed Races were not able to occur.  Although this would have collected a large amount of money, $11,000 is still incredible for making a simple batch of chili.  Just imagine how much could have been donated with Bed Races included.

With this money, not only will a wish will be granted, but a heart-warming smile will be put on a child’s face who truly deserves it.
