Think your chili has what it takes to be crowned UAF's Best Chili? Join us on Tuesday, Nov. 3, from noon to 2 p.m. in the Wood Center Ballroom for a flavorful showdown where UAF students, staff, departments and clubs compete for chili bragging rights! Whether your recipe is bold and spicy, wildly unique, or a tried-and-true crowd favorite, there’s a place for you at the table.

All proceeds benefit the United Way of Tanana Valley, which supports local programs and organizations working to strengthen our community by helping people access essential resources, supporting families, and improving lives across the Fairbanks area.
