JWLA is planning on being back and better than ever this year for the 2023 Chili Cook-Off! We already have a theme, but we are keeping this top-secret so we can make sure to WOW all of the judges and voters this year! We are going to need volunteers to help with this from start-to-finish, including preparing decor for the table, preparing the chili and fixin's, as well as working the table for the day of the event.

Since we are going to need the involvement of many people for this event, please (along with getting your RSVP in here) e-mail Jessica Goldsborough ([email protected]) so we can get started on preparing for this fun event!

If you'd like to learn more about this event, here is what the description from the Jacksonville Bar Association:

Since 2009, the YLS has hosted a Charity Chili Cook-Off to bring the legal community together for an afternoon of live music and delicious competition. This annual event has become a staple in the community and inspired some firms to hold their own internal cook-offs leading up to the big day. In fact, the cook-off became so popular that it outgrew its location. This prompted a new partnership in 2015 with the renowned Riverside Arts Market. The move inspired tremendous turnout and community participation. Each year, YLS raises thousands of dollars for a local charity. The charity this year is The Laundry Project.
