❤️ Why We’re Doing This
All proceeds from Chili Con Carnage go directly to the PROJECT SALT Scholarship Fund, where we will be awarding 5 graduating seniors $1,000 scholarships from:
🎓 Wickenburg High School
🎓 Wickenburg Christian Academy
We are also hosting a food drive to support the Wickenburg High School “Green Room” — an on-campus free food bank & clothing closet that provides food, clothing, and essentials to students in a discreet, judgment-free way.
👉 Bring non-perishable food items, toiletries, or hygiene products to donate and help us stock their shelves!
This event isn’t just about chili…
It’s about showing up for our kids.
It’s about community.
It’s about making sure no student gets left behind.
