Save the Date — C.H.A.D. Chili Cook-Off Fundraiser!
Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 7th at Avery's Modern Teahouse in Loveland, CO! Join us for a fun-filled afternoon of chili competition, community, and great food - all in support of C.H.A.D.
Whether you're a chili champion ready to compete or just there for the taste test, there's a spot for you at the table. Time and ticket details coming soon - stay tuned!
A huge thank you to our Main Sponsor, Developmental Pathways, for making this event possible!
A portion of every ticket and entry fee goes directly to Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver's CAPABLE program, which funds critical home modifications — ramps, grab bars, widened doorways—that allow people with disabilities and seniors to stay safely in their homes. Come for the chili, leave knowing you helped someone age or live in place.
