The team from Atmore Community Hospital won first place in the First Annual “Support ACH Chili Cook-Off” held Saturday afternoon at Tom Byrne Park.
Atmore Community Hospital received two blessings from Saturday’s First Annual “Support ACH Chili Cook-Off.” A team from ACH not only won first place, but all of the event’s proceeds will also be used toward the purchase of a new X-ray machine for the hospital.
“This kind of community support is so unbelievable,” said ACH administrator Bill Perkins. “It is just a blessing to be honored in this way.”
The L.A. Bikers were the second-place team, and First United Methodist Church took third place.
Greater Mt. Triumph Baptist Church received the “People’s Choice” award, after raising $553 for the effort. A total of $2,688.84 was raised during the “People’s Choice” voting Saturday.
The event was held at Tom Byrne Park, and organizers said preparations are already being made to hold it again next year.
