BENEFITING BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF BLUFFTON

OH WHAT A NIGHT!

On Sunday March 6, 2022 The Women of Palmetto Bluff united with our greater Palmetto Bluff community to support a truly worthy cause. Members, community sponsors and PB associates joined together at Coles for the All-American Chili Cook-Off benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of Bluffton. Attendees tasted 17 mouth-watering chili recipes, then voted for their favorites. They pulled wine corks for some amazing wines, bid on incredible auction items, and bonded with friends, neighbors, and fellow community members. It was a night to remember in so many ways. Because of your overwhelming support and generosity, to date $120,000 was raised for the Boys and Girls Club of Bluffton! Upon hearing the news, Executive Director Molly O. Hornbeak was moved to tears.

Congratulations to our Chili Cook-Off winners:

Best Chili in Palmetto Bluff: Shari Darling
People's Choice Award: Chris Dalton and Claudia Rogers
People's Choice Award Finalists: Darrell Whatley, Earl and David Grubbs
Most Fun Contestant Table: Steve Brown and Katie Dufour

Sincere thanks to our community sponsors who played a vital role in our fundraising efforts. Thank you to the Palmetto Bluff Club, our Presenting Sponsor; and to the Membership Office associates and Coles staff who worked tirelessly throughout the day Sunday (and prior!). We truly could not have done this without you. Thank you to the WOPB Board, committee chairs and volunteers. You were the backbone of the event; the force of nature that brought everything together.

But most importantly, thank you ALL for your tremendous support of our event and the Bluffton BGC. Your generous donations (both financial and in-kind) coupled with your participatory support allowed us to accomplish great things. Our goal was to help get our Bluffton youth “back in the club.” We achieved that goal beyond expectations. Know that working together we have made a positive impact on the lives of so many of our Bluffton youth.

With gratitude and respect,

The Women of Palmetto Bluff Board
