Be Part of Something Bigger
Each year, the Louisville Chili Cook-Off brings together thousands of community members, food lovers, and competitors to celebrate local flavor — and support a powerful cause. All proceeds benefit Norton Children’s Hospital, and our 2025 goal is to raise $20,000.
By sponsoring this beloved community event, you’re not just gaining brand exposure — you’re making a direct impact on children’s lives, while aligning your business with one of Louisville’s most talked-about fall traditions.
We offer a variety of sponsorship levels to fit your goals and visibility needs — explore the opportunities below to find the right fit for your brand.
