The why: Chili competitions have been a long time family hobby. In June 2016, these three lost their dad and I lost my husband unexpectedly. The littles recieved free grief support through Blue Ridge Hospice including several years of camp. When I (Kim) decided to host an event here in Wi******er, I chose BRH-Kaleidoscope Project, children's grief services as the benefiting charity.

If you would like to support youth grief services in some way, please visit https://brhospice.org/donate/ In the Donation Dedication section, please select "In Honor of" and enter: Kaleidoscope Project - chili.

President & CEO of Blue Ridge Hospice.
