The 2nd annual Ellicottville Rotary Chili Cookoff Fundraiser is coming soon! Saturday, September 27, 4-7pm at Madigan’s upstairs. 36 Washington St.
Enjoy live music, chili tasting and ice-cold beverages. Try your luck at the 50/50, gift basket raffle and an on-line silent auction. More items are being added weekly. Check our Facebook page (Rotary Club of Ellicottville) or go directly HERE.
There are still openings for contestants, so find your grandma’s famous knock-your-sox off chili recipe and come on down.
Please remember, this is a fundraiser for the good works Ellicottville Rotary does throughout the year supporting our community. This past year, we have already given out four $1000 scholarships to graduating ECS students and a $4000 grant for the Ellicottville Inclusive Playground. You’ll find Rotarians at the Spring cleanup, assisting in the various Chamber events including security at the Mardi Gras Parade. We assist with requests for ECS students, support our local library, feed the community at Thanksgiving, provide a safe, fun venue for our kids for Halloween, fight polio, and have raised substantial funds for the endangered yellow headed parrots in Belize as part of our International commitment. This all takes money, and we are blessed to harness the energy of our growing number of members (24 to date). We know you’ll want to help.
Wondering how you can donate? We continue gathering items for gift baskets and the online silent auction.
The auction website is live, and bidding has started. People can access the website by scanning the QR code or by going directly to the website HERE.
