A Chili Cook-off Thank You!
The 2018 Chili Cook-off and Oyster Roast was a phenomenal success thanks to all of you who came to enjoy it, cooked in it, sponsored it and adopted an animal at it! 5,000 people enjoyed the festivities at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, helping to raise money for Toby’s Fund, Charleston Animal Society’s medical fund. Thank you to all who came and made a difference in an animal’s life!
