SO WHY NOT SPONSOR A PORT-A-POTTY?

That’s right, for as little as $35.00 you can place a message on the door of a Chili Cook Off Potty. This is one of the Cook Off’s non-revenue producing expenses and you can help raise more money for The American Red Cross by defraying the cost of a Port-a-Potty. Deadline September, 2nd
