Northwest State Community College Student Activities recently held its 28th Annual Chili Cook-Off in the College’s atrium. Each year, money raised from this event is donated to the PATH Center in Defiance, to be used for area residents in need of assistance. The 2023 event proceeds totaled $826, which were recently donated to representatives from the PATH Center.

OVER $13,000 HAS BEEN RAISED…

The Chili Cook-Off has raised over $13,000 for the PATH Center over the nearly 30 years of the event. This year, eight teams competed in the event. Congratulations to STEMi–people’s choice winner and “golden ladle” winner and also to Heartburn Lane (CTS)–judge’s non-traditional choice and STEMi, again, for Judge’s traditional choice.

QUOTABLE

NSCC Career Services and Student Activities Coordinator Mike Jacobs commented, “Apart from Commencement, the Cook Off is the longest running event in the College’s history. People love to be a part of tradition, especially one that has such a positive impact on the community.”
