When planning the 40th Chili Cookoff Celebration, by a Unanimous Vote, the Original Terlingua International Championship Chili Cookoff selected the ALS Association, South Texas Chapter as their Official Charity to Support. We were all very proud to present to ALS, a check for nearly $2,000!

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of a whole bunch of folks - and a significant donation from Sam's Club - during and even after the 41st Chili Cook-Off Celebration, over $16,000 in donations will be presented to the ALS Association, South Texas Chapter!!

It makes one extremely proud to be part of a group of folks that can put other's needs above their own wants!!

Thank you, everyone, so very very much!!!

We'll Be updating the other pages shortly with a whole bunch more cookoff info, winners, pictures, etc., so please visit back soon!
