It’s fall, and that means time for warm, spicy chili on the weekends. Add fundraising for a great cause, and Baltimoreans can enjoy The Baltimore Station’s 10th annual Stars, Stripes and Chow: Chili Edition!
Presented by M&T Bank and taking place Nov. 2 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, this chowdown for charity brings talented home chefs from all over Maryland together to showcase their finest chili creations. The cookoff is dedicated to raising funds for unhoused veterans.
The event features a competition between teams across Maryland. This year’s teams are M&T Bank, Fuchs NA, MartinFederal, Maryland Multi-Housing Association, Baltimore Gas and Electric, WPG Financial Group, The Nelson Family, Peraton, T. Rowe Price, Element Fleet, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood and Society of American Military Engineers. The event is family friendly and will have a kids’ zone with fun activities in addition to live music, food, beverages, raffles, a silent auction, and more.
Attendees can cast their vote for “People’s Choice” and “Best Theme,” and a panel of judges representing each military branch will crown the “Judge’s Choice” champion.
All proceeds from this event will benefit The Baltimore Station, an organization that supports people, primarily veterans, dealing with being unhoused and with substance use disorder. The Baltimore Station provides residential therapy and workforce development programs.
To celebrate the fundraiser’s 10th anniversary, tickets will be the same price they were in 2014, the first year of the event: $40 for adults, $35 for veterans, active duty, and first responders, $20 for young adults ages 11-20, and free for children 10 and under. Special 10th-anniversary pricing will last until Oct. 25. After that, ticket prices will be $50 for adults, $40 for veterans, active duty and first responders, $30 for young adults ages 11-20 and free for guests 10 and under.
