Greetings from the class, board and staff of Awareness Washington County Leadership Program. Thanks to you, over the last forty years we have been able to help over six hundred and fifty adults and numerous youth develop or enhance their leadership potential. It is because of supporters like you that we are able to continue this nationally recognized program in our community.
We invite you to sponsor our 6th annual Chili Cook Off on March 11, 2023. In past years, hundreds of people throughout the community joined us for some delicious chili, games and great company. This year we will continue to have activities for the children that attend and we are continuing our popular dessert auction, silent auction, and bag raffle.
We are seeking table sponsors to help bring about this wonderful event and have several sponsorship levels for you to consider. Jalapeno is $500 or more, Hot is $250 or more and Spicy is $100. Your donations would help adults and youth in our community to become more confident in their lives as Servant Leaders. All contributors will be recognized both at the event and after the event through local media and on our social media sites. Please let us know of your sponsorship intentions no later than March 5, 2023.
We are thankful for your continued support to promote Awareness Washington County and We The Youth.
If you have any questions about Awareness Washington County, We The Youth! or the Awareness Chili Cook-Off, please call or email us. We are looking forward to a very “spicy” year.
