25th Anniversary BeHappyChili Cookoff

We are a Fund Rasing Organization!!
So, we use this event to help raise the funds to share among our 2 charities this year. In case you might not know our 501(3)C Charities: Marine Devil Dogs, help Vets returning home that are having trouble adjusting and then trying to hurt themselves. Adventures' Unbound, help disabled Adults that hardly ever get out of the home to go on outings, like going to the zoo (which they have never seen). Or a nice place to eat, an amusement park, an Aquarium, a concert, etc. This brings things into their lives they have Rarely seen or done. But we take for granted.
So, to help raise funds we have events like raffles and silent auctions that can really help the fund Rasing area of the event. Help us get item to win or sale, we need Items for these events.
We ask for help by, if you have items around the house, you don't want any more or to clean out. And if you think they are worth something or someone else might like them, donate them to the event.
Bring them with you to the Registration area in A loop, campsite 15ish. Write up a description of the item with what you feel is a good starting price for the item. Remember it's for charity, so you could fudge up the price a bit. Reasonable of course.
We really need the items, and you will be helping cause of these charities.
Thanks Shamus!

Oh PS: If you can't make the event or weather is not for you that weekend, you can donate to the cause. Any can help.

BeHappyChili Meet 1 of our Charities we are funding this year: DFW Devil Dogs!

*** THE DFW DEVIL DOGS was developed 6 years ago to provide relief and support to local Marines and FMF Corpsman (and all Veterans as their budget allows) that have suffered some form of catastrophe. The group strongly supports prevention education and all efforts to intervene and stop an individual from harming themselves. The Devil Dog Nation advocates su***de awareness and prevention by utilizing various educational methods to assist Veterans in crisis. Devil Dog Nation has developed an extensive network of resources to include employers, Veteran associated services, and educators, that they partner with to help Veterans who are searching for help with employment, health and education.

So, sit back and relax (or try to) and leave all the work to the staff and volunteers of Adventures Unbound.

BeHappyChili Cookoff.. Who are They?

Really, we are fund Rasing organization for Charities.

As of late, say 25 years ish,, it's been for charities. Before that was just a fun event that a lot of guys n girls got together and had fun. Ray, Rick, and Connie's friends with a couple others and did chili.

Today its more involved with typical fare and events to raise money.

Last few years we started picking 2 charities a year to sponsor.

So here is our mission statement.
This is BE Happy Chili {Cookoff}

The "Be Happy Chili Cook Off” started on Saint Patrick's Day weekend in 1999 with a small group of friends that got together at the beautiful Lloyd Park to simply "Be Happy" and enjoy their time together. Over the years this small group has grown to be an event that has over 1000 attendees. As this event has grown this group of friends have turned this simple camping trip into an opportunity to support our local community. For the past 10 years "The Be Happy Chili Cook Off' has supported local 50I(c)3 organizations such as OWLS (Opportunities to Learn Work and Succeed), Veterans of Foreign Wars, Life's Adventure Youth Foundation, Colonel's Corral, and many more. Saint Patrick's Day weekend can now be your opportunity to bring your team or family out for an amazing camping trip, a great chili cook off with trophies, tons of activities, and the opportunity to support your community all while BEING HAPPY!
