Join us for Hand in Hand’s biggest fundraiser of the year! This family-friendly event takes place at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds the weekend before the Super Bowl. The event features at least 15 chili teams competing for #1.
What’s Cookin’?
Chili Tasting: Sample a variety of chili recipes from talented teams and vote for your favorite.
Silent Auction & Raffles: Bid on fantastic items and try your luck at winning big.

Chili Awards: Cheer for the teams as we crown the best of the best.
Proceeds from the Chili Cook-Off benefit Hand in Hand’s programs that are accessible for all and include our childcare, school age programs, evening and weekend recreation and respite programs, summer camp, and our Teens with Purpose and People with Purpose programs.
