Big Chili Donations – Can you help?
The Big Chili is our main fund raising event of the year. It is an adult-only evening where we come together to bid on items donated by our community and DC area businesses. This year the event is scheduled for Saturday April 27 at the historic Josephine Butler House. Please mark this on your calendar now! You will want to book your sitter in plenty of time. More information on the Big Chili can be found on our website.
The key- or “main ingredients”- to our auction success are our donations. Jason Orlando, Nick Jacobs, and Karen Landes have been working hard to reach out to previous and new donors. We have added a new page to the Big Chili section of our site with a list of donations received so far. Some great ones include:
- One Week Vacation at Historic Powhatan Resort, Williamsburg, VA
- Two cases of Champagne from the Ivanov Family
- One week of soccer camp from First Touch Soccer
- Playseum Birthday Party Package valued at $300
- Around the World with John Henry the Guitar Man valued at $300.**
**Plus, get 25% off a private party with John Henry when you mention Stoddert!
