Sponsor/Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in the Hagerstown
Suns 7th Annual Chili Cook-Off and Music Festival. The Hagerstown
Suns are once again hard at work to ensure that this year’s
event is yet another huge success.
Over the past six years, the Hagerstown
Suns Chili Cook-Off has benefited numerous non-profit organizations
and this year, we are proud of our partnership with Teens Have
Choices of Washington County. With your participation this
year will help guarantee terrific results for the Hagerstown
Suns Chili Cook-Off & Music
Festival and for Teens Have Choices.
Also known as the Washington County Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Coalition, Teens Have Choices is a nonprofit organization devoted
to equipping teens to make healthy decisions that will impact
their futures, and helping parents make an impact on their teens'
decisions. The Coalition is made up of representatives from many
sectors of the community: government, social services, education,
healthcare, and businesses, as well as local parents and teens.
Proceeds from the Chili Cook-Off will
help fund special events, such as the Teen IDEA Challenge,
which brings together community organizations to present a
day of fun and educational activities for teens. The Coalition’s goal is to reduce both the consistently
high number of teen’s giving birth and the steadily increasing
rates of sexually transmitted infections among youth in our County.
The Chili Cook-Off has already raised over $90,000 for charity
in the past six 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 2010. 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 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.
Thanks for your participation!
