Families in Transition is delighted to have been selected as a charity to benefit from ticket sales for the World's Championship Chili Cookoff (WCCC), which will be held in Veterans Park in downtown Manchester, NH on October 1, 2, and 3! The WCCC is a premier event with participants traveling to Manchester from across the country to compete for cash and prizes up to $25,000. This is a fun, family-friendly event with entertainment, shopping, and food for all tastes.
FIT has the opportunity to receive $10,000 towards the purchase of a much needed activity bus for participants and their children, if we can sell 250 "Supporter Packages" to supporters and friends of the agency. Additionally, for anyone that can't purchase a Supporter Package, FIT is selling individual tickets to the chili festival.
There are several ways to support FIT in this endeavourer AND enjoy the Chili Festival! A win-win for all!
A 2010 WCCC Families in Transition "Supporter Package" includes a variety of items based on the level of financial support, all listed here. FIT will be a benefactor of the ticket sales of up to 40% of the revenue generated from each supporter package. We will use the funds raised towards purchasing a much needed bus that will help transport children and adults in our program to and from our appointments, child care, field trips, counseling, etc.
Each $100 Supporter Package includes three 3-day passes to the event (9 tickets total) for you to use yourself or to give to your employees, family, or friends, as well as the opportunity to be listed in the Event Program, entrance in a raffle for a judging opportunity, limited edition Chili Fest shirt, chili lovers welcome kit, and on a sign at the OutFITters Thrift Store. The recognition that you can receive increases with the number of packages purchased.
Tickets to the event are only $5 per person, per day, of which FIT receives $1, which will be used towards the purchase of a much needed activity bus for our participants and their children.
Individual Tickets can also be purchased in person at these locations:
