Why Chili & Chilling

We at the Rotary Club of Coral Gables are once again excited and proud to present our Fourth Annual Chili Cook-off. This year’s event will take place from 1 to 5 PM on February 24, 2019 at Ponce Circle Park and promises to be biggest and best yet. We plan to have more chili contestants than prior years as well as tasty and refreshing craft beers and great live music.

The purpose of the cook-off is twofold. First, it’s our way of thanking our community for its support of our programs. We are extremely grateful. Second, it provides us an opportunity to raise funds for our charitable foundation, all of which will go right back into our community in the form of civic and charitable grants.

Since the founding of our club in 1946, we have called Coral Gables our home. Some of our current members are second and third generation Coral Gables Rotarians. Over the years, Coral Gables Mayors, City Commissioners, City Managers and Police and Fired Department Chiefs have graced our membership rolls. We have always enjoyed great relationships with our city government. We are fortunate to be located in such a wonderful community and we don’t take that for granted.

Then and Now

Over the past four years alone, our foundation has made grants totaling over $120,000 to local charities and college scholarships to deserving graduates of Coral Gables Senior High School. We hope to continue our philanthropic efforts and have fun in the process.

We are confident that this event will continue to foster the strong relationships we enjoy with our city leaders and neighbors, while also raising funds that will ultimately go back into our community.

We thank you for your interest in our Chili Cook-off and hope that you enjoy a wonder afternoon with us on February 24, 2019.
