What an incredible day! ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ
A huge, heartfelt **THANK YOU** to everyone who came out to the **Inaugural HCDO Assist the Deputy Foundation Chili Cook-Off** today at JB's Pub & Grill. Your support means the world to us and to the Harris County deputies, officers, and their families who rely on the foundation during tough times.
Whether you voted in the People's Choice category, bid on the silent auction, enjoyed the live music, got your face painted, visited the petting zoo, or just came to taste some seriously amazing chili โ you made this first-ever event unforgettable. The energy, the laughs, the delicious competition... it was all because of YOU!
Special shoutout to our amazing chili teams for bringing the heat (and some truly mouthwatering recipes), our generous sponsors, the volunteers who made everything run smoothly, and everyone who showed up to support law enforcement heroes in our community.
Because of your generosity and presence today, we're one step closer to helping more of our brothers and sisters in blue when they need it most. ๐๐ฎโโ๏ธ
Thank you again to Karen Eddie Lopez, Shiloh Spradlin, Leonard Gonzalez, Robin Foster, Elizabeth McEntire, JB's Pub & Grill, and Harris County Deputies' Organization FOP Lodge 39.
If you couldn't make it or want to keep the momentum going, donations are always welcome through the foundation โ every bit helps! Visit www.hcdoadf.com to donate.
From the bottom of our hearts: **Thank you, Houston!** You showed up big today. Let's do it again soon!
