Super Bowl & Chili Cookoff 2025
February 9 @ 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM
$20Join us as we come together for our second annual Super Bowl gathering. We had so much fun at last year’s Super Bowl party that we decided to take it up a notch!
TCP’s Fundraising Care Circle is proud to present its first annual fundraising event, the “Superbowl Chili (and Cornbread) Cook-off” on February 9, 2025. We are guaranteed to have more fun, laughs, and lots of opportunities to win prizes while supporting your spiritual community.
This is a time to show off your culinary skills with your homemade chili. And if you’re feeling extra confident, we also have a cornbread contest for you to enter.
Just like the Super Bowl, ONE winner will be getting the trophy! So put your competitive hats on! We will also have prizes and 50/50 raffles.
Doors open at 5pm.
