The results of the fabulous fundraising effort of the Bohicket Backpack Buddies Chili
Cook, held Saturday, March 19, 2016, are in. According to event organizer and The
Ice Cream Boat owner, Todd Gerhart, the event raised over $18,600 for the children of
Frierson, Angel Oak and Mount Zion elementaries, and Haut Gap middle school who
participate in the Backpack buddies program.
The program provides healthy food for children to take home from school on Fridays,
to ensure they have adequate nutrition over the weekend. It costs $195 a year to fund a
child to receive a backpack of food.
Over one thousand people attended the event, which featured a chili contest and live
music from a six piece band.
