The Young Trustees sixth annual Chili Cook Off was held Saturday outside of Rockin K’s.
While crowds gathered to taste the bowls of red, many made by local businesses, they watched the K-State football game on the Jumbotron.
Young Trustee board member M.L. Latimore spoke with KMAN Saturday about the annual event.
Director of Marketing MaKenna Eliert explains how the money is generated for non-profit organizations.
BHS Construction was the winner of the cook-off, and their nonprofit of choice was Shepherd’s Crossing.
At 20 dollars each, twenty-five percent of the ticket sales went to a local non-profit organization of the ticket-holder’s choice. Fundraising totals are pending, but the event traditionally raises thousands for Manhattan area nonprofits.
