Sponsor/Volunteer
 Thank
you for your interest in the Hagerstown Suns 6th Annual Chili
Cook-Off and Music Festival. The Chili Cook-Off committee is
once again hard at work to ensure that this year’s event
is yet another huge success.
Last year’s event raised over $10,000 for the The Washington
County MIHI - “Project Lifesaver” Program. In the
event’s four year history, we’ve raised $85,000 for
charitable programs in Washington County. Your participation
this year will help guarantee terrific results for the Hagerstown
Suns Chili Cook-Off & Music Festival and for The American
Red Cross, Washington County Chapter, who will benefit from this
year’s event.
The charitable funds generated through
the Hagerstown Suns 2009 Chili Cook Off will aid The American
Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and
guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles
of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief
to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for
and respond to emergencies. For nearly a century, the Washington
County Chapter has worked diligently to fulfill that mission
on behalf of residents of Washington County. The Chili Cook-Off
has already raised $85,000 for charity in the past five years.
Approximately 2,000 people attend the event annually along
with close to 30 Chili Cook teams from the public and corporate
community. The Suns Chili Cook-off & Music
Festival has fast become a substantive regional tourist attraction
for our community. 
A team of local judges will once again
be used in 2009. There are three award categories: Best Overall
Chili, The People’s
Choice Award and Best Booth Display. The top three teams in the “Best
Overall Chili” category will receive cash prizes of $1,000,
$500 and $250 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
Teams will again be required to provide samples beginning at
12:00 p.m. Awards will be presented at approximately 5:00 p.m.
The Music Festival portion of the event will also begin at 12:00
p.m. and continue until approximately 5:00 p.m.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate
to contact the Hagerstown Suns at (301) 791-6266 or info@hagerstownsuns.com.
