The Exceptional Foundation’s 2024 Chili Cook-off was an unforgettable event!
This year’s cook-off was held at Brookwood Village where teams from across Birmingham gathered to cook and raise money for The Exceptional Foundation.
The Exeptional Foundation is a local non-profit that provides year-round social and recreational services for adults and children with intellectual disabilities.
Our team took our involvement a step further this year, as we created custom t-shirts. Each shirt featured a QR code on the back where every visitor scan added an additional $5 donation from KEYSYS!
Our team was passionate about our chili recipe, which included an extra touch: serving chili nachos with hand-grated sharp cheddar cheese, green onions, sour cream, and jalapenos.
People loved our chili nachos, and they were a big hit at the event. We had a great time serving our chili and working together to make the event a success.
We also extend a special shoutout to our cook, Noah Oliphant, and the entire cooking team for their dedication, effort, and spice! This would not have been possible without his leadership.
We were especially thrilled to receive 1st place for the Spirit Award, recognizing our enthusiasm and teamwork.
Beyond the competition, the chili cook-off provided a platform to support a worthy cause, showcase our creativity, and strengthen our teamwork. We’re grateful for everyone’s support and participation, making the event truly memorable and fulfilling.
