Boots & Badges Chili Cook-Off Returns October 10
Join us on October 10, 2026, for the Boots & Badges Chili Cook-Off, formerly known as the LASD Fun in the Sun Chili Cook-Off. Hosted in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, this longtime community tradition brings people together for a day of great food, friendly competition, live entertainment, and family fun. Whether you’re competing for chili bragging rights, sampling recipes from local teams, or simply enjoying the festivities, your participation helps support Special Olympics Southern California athletes and the life-changing opportunities they experience through sports, health, leadership, and inclusion.
Support the Mission Beyond the Cook-Off
Can’t make it to the Boots & Badges Chili Cook-Off, or looking for another way to help? Your donation helps Special Olympics Southern California provide year-round sports training, competitions, health services, leadership opportunities, and inclusive programs for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Every gift makes a difference and helps ensure athletes can continue to compete, grow, and experience the joy of belonging both on and off the field.
