You won’t want to miss being a part of this annual all-church night of food & fun! Proceeds will support the high school mission trip to Nashville, TN in June 2020.

Here are three great ways to get involved!

1. Donate to the Silent Auction. We are collecting donations for the Silent Auction and need your help! “Personal experiences” (like a weekend at your cabin or use of your RV or boat), care baskets, gift cards, baked goods, and services (teaching lessons, lawn mowing, babysitting, etc) are always a huge hit. All items should be in new or “like new” condition.

2. Enter your Chili ($25 entry fee). Will our judges pick your recipe as #1 or will you win the popular vote of “Crossview’s Best Chili”? The entry fee will be used for prizes and to help cover the costs of our mission trip adult leaders.

3. Enter your Cornbread ($10 entry fee). Maybe chili isn't your thing? You might have a cornbread recipe that is second to none! Put it to the test for a $10 registration fee. This is a brand new feature to our fundraising event.

Click here to enter your chili or conrbread in the cook-off. To donate an auction item, please email NextGen Director Alex Ramerth.

Then invite your family and friends to join us on Feb. 23 to vote for their favorite recipe and bid on items in the silent auction, including... 3 Night Colorado Cabin Rental • Up to 1 Week Hayward, WI Cabin Rental • Handmade Jewelry • 3 Night Stay at the Lutsen Sea Villas on Lake Superior • Day at Madison Lake with Kayaking, Swimming, Paddle Boarding & Fishing • Fresh Cut Summer Flower Arrangement Certificates • Lots of Handmade Wall Art & Home Decor • Roden + Fields Body Care Package • Babysitting Sessions • Bean Bag Toss Set • Roasted Veggie Salad Meal Kits • 50 Feet of Concrete Curbing • MN Sports Metal Sign • Sports & Outdoor Merchandise • MercyMe Concert Tickets • Yoda Poster • Many Handcrafted Items • Gift Cards & Gift Certificates • and MUCH MORE!
