We LOVE Our Sponsors

Wow - the community has REALLY come together to support this year's Downtown Chili Showdown! It truly takes a village to pull this delicious day together so please, take some time to show our sponsors some love!

The Sasha Farmer Team doesn't just help families buy and sell homes across Central Virginia, as huge community supporters they help in a million other ways.  Having faithfully supported Red Shoe Cville in our efforts to build awareness about the Ronald McDonald House Charities since our inception (including having been a sponsor since our very first chili cook-off!) the Sasha Farmer Team has more than earned their highly sought after Spicy Chicken Sponsor designation. Thank you Team, we are so grateful for all of you!

Monticello Media has stepped up again to support us in a BIG way as our 2015 Media Sponsor.  In addition to great ads on all five of their stations, Hot 101.9's PJ Styles is hanging with RSC President Brooke Jenkins and local brewers for a special "What's On Tap?" video segment.  Check it out here! 

A big thanks to Presenting Sponsor  Main Street Arena, for allowing us to take over their amazing space on again on April 18, 2015!  There's no better place to house chili cooks, local breweries, an amazing special VIP seating area (stay tuned for info about this!), fun for the kids and hundreds of the most awesome people from our community raising money for the Ronald McDonald House of Charlottesville!   

Please join us in welcoming The Charlottesville Albemarle Airport, who is jumping in with feet first as our 2015 Habanero Sponsor! We're psyched to have them on board (no pun intended!) and are so very grateful for their generosity.  It would not be possible for us to hold this event without the kindness of our sponsors, so please help us in showing our gratitude by showing our friends at CHO some love!

Portions of the annual operating costs for Ronald McDonald Houses across the country are graciously funded by McDonald’s and owner/operators of local McDonald’s restaurants.  This makes the fact that McDonald's has stepped up as our Cayenne Sponsor for the second year even more awesome.   So, if you happen to be wondering what to do for lunch today....




We are incredibly indebted to the seven local breweries (Blue Mountain Brewery, Blue Mountain Barrel House, Devils Backbone Brewery, South Street Brewery, Star Hill Brewery, Three Notch'd Brewing Company and Wild Wolf Brewing Company) who not only immediately hopped on board when asked to be a part of our Brew Ha Ha event, but responded with "How else can we help?".  While in most situations "Bring beer!" would be our answer, it takes a little more than beer to make this event happen.  So with that in mind, we're hoping we can twist your arms just a bit to ask that you visit their establishments as a way of showing just how thankful we are!
