ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT
Legacy Events for Education is a 501c3 non-profit public charity. Our mission is to inspire students, teachers and communities to leave their legacy on the world. We believe it is important to encourage involvement and making a difference in our local communities.
Since our inception, Legacy has delivered over $120,000 in scholarships and grants to local graduates and their schools. We fund these efforts though the production of community fundraising events like the Central Florida Chili Cookoff, generous sponsorships from local businesses and individual donations from the local community.
Our programs include the Leave a Legacy and Teacher Nominated scholarships and our Legacy Leaders Academy.

CASI Sanctioned Event
What is CASI?
Each year, CASI sanctions nearly 400 domestic and international chili cookoffs as qualifying events for the CASI Terlingua International Chili Championship©, known as TICC. CASI was the original organizer of the first chili championship in Terlingua in 1967. These sanctioned events raise approximately $1,000,000 annually for the local and national charities that work with the cookoff organizers. This ultimate chili championship is held the first Saturday of November annually at Rancho CASI de los Chisos near Terlingua, Texas. The CASI Championship event is a fundraiser for local Terlingua charities and organizations and funds CASI's scholarship programs.
