Chilli (Vegetarian available), Homemade Bun, Pumpkin Cupcake, C0ffee/Tea AND.. a Handmade Pottery Bowl!
It’s the 10th Annual lunch event held by GrammaLink-Africa in support of Grandmothers raising their grandchildren orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa. In 2008 a group of grandmothers based in Red Deer and headed up by Shirley Challoner hosted the first Chilli for a Cause event. They raised $2,200.00. In 2017 this event raised $8,000.00!
