South Padre Island Chili Expo (SPICE)

What a fantastic day we had for the 2020 Winter Fundraiser!! We had 15+ teams entered and 20+ chilis to taste. We estimate over 350 people attended and believe they all had a great time! The weather was perfect for a day of cooking. Thanks to all our chefs and attendees for making sure we are able to continue our mission of helping women and families in the Valley who are fighting breast caner with financial assistance. It wouldn’t happen without supporters such as you.

Save the Date! The 2021 Winter Fundraiser will be held Saturday February 13 at Louie’s Backyard. Make plans now to be there!
