There were 17 chilis, cornbread, baked goods and bottled water for all. Over 120 people came to sample the chili and support the LA Purple Stars. Five judges did a blind tasting of the chilis and picked two winners. First place winner George Fetcho received a $50 Publix gift card, and second place winner Dan Freedman received a $25 Publix gift card. Thank you to all who donated, cooked, and helped to setup and volunteered. With your help, $3,000 was raised for the American Cancer Society!
