Re: 7t" Annual Chili Cook-Off and Beer Tasting
Members of Tequesta Fire-Rescue, in conjunction with Friends of Public Safety, are
requesting the Village of Tequesta to be a co-sponsor of the 7th Annual Chili Cook-off
and beer-tasting event to raise funds for Southeast Florida Honor Flight, Inc., Operation
300, and Renewal Coalition. Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created solely to
honor America's WWII and terminally ill veterans for all their sacrifices. Operation 300
and Renewal Coalition honors warriors that have been wounded in the line of duty and
sends children of those killed in action to camp. Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the funds
raised will be donated to each charity. The remaining Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the
funds raised will be retained by the Friends of Public Safety, Inc to be utilized in its mission
to provide support to the Tequesta pubfic safety personnel in time of need and to continue
maintenance of the 9/11 Memorial Fountain.
The event is being planned for November 11, 2017 from 2pm to 6pm at Paradise Park.
We will be bringing in a stage for live entertainment, 8- to 10 port-a-potties, tables and
chairs for approximately 300 people, 33-10x10 folding tenfs for Chili teams and corporate
sponsors and plan on hiring as many Police Offices as the Police Chief feels is
appropriate for the event.
On the day of the event we request the ability of the on duty crew to assist with the setup
and breakdown of the event. We would like to utilize the Aerial truck by extending the
boom and draping an American Flag from it to honor all our fallen heroes. All Firefighters
working the event will be off duty. On duty personnel may be needed to assist in some
of the planning, along with answering questions of the citizens of Tequesta on event
details. None of the above requests will interfere with the operation of the departments.
