CHILI FEST FUNDRAISING FOR D.A.R.E. AND GREAT PROGRAMS

Although we’re unable to have the fun chili tasting event that usually goes hand in hand with raising money for D.A.R.E. and GREAT; Chili Fest, with State Bank Financial, is still raising funds for these very important programs in our area.

The annual Chili Fest fundraiser generally accounts for roughly 60% of the funds needed for the D.A.R.E. and GREAT programs. These programs help teach our young kids skills to avoid drugs and violence. To date, the La Crosse area D.A.R.E program has worked to educate over 16,500 kids, and counting.
