Calling all Carnevores:

It’s almost time for the 21st annual Carne Diem! Ready to raise your chili mug and raise money for the United Way of Central OK? PROST!!

Calling Carne a chili cook-off doesn’t quite do it justice — this lively community gathering is the most festive downtown block party around! For a $15 minimum donation, you’ll get three different types of chili, with 60+ delicious choices made by professionals and amateurs alike. Per usual, there will be beer available for purchase, live music by Kyle Earhart & the Neon Smoke, a pepper-eating contest and more. 

 Raise your spoons and steins for a good cause!

 

We raised a record-breaking $10,515 for United Way in 2022, but we’re hungry for MORE! Will you help us get there?!

 

All proceeds benefit:

United Way of Central OK
