The Rainbow Room Chili Challenge is a community fundraiser supporting Rainbow Room of Rockwall County, helping meet the immediate needs of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The event takes place January 31, 2026, at Divine Peace Church in Rockwall. Guests are welcome starting at 11:00 AM. Come taste great chili, vote for your favorite, and support local children who need it now, not later.

Chili cooks must pre-register. The cook entry fee is $50 and includes participation in judged categories and eligibility for awards. Guests can attend for a $10 donation, which includes tastings of all competing chilis and entry into door prize drawings. All proceeds benefit the Rainbow Room of Rockwall County.

Both cooks and guests can register at the link below. Cooks should include their team name and CHILI COOK in the notes along with the $50 donation, and guests just need to put in their name in the notes section, along with a $10 donation per guest they wish to bring.
