Ole!  Chalk up another successful AMIGOS Chili Cook-off.   This year's San Antonio, Texas event brought in the crowds even despite the torrential rains.  Live music, games and all the Texas chili one could eat was enjoyed by all in attendance.  Shelly Miles from News 4 WOAI served as this year's Mistress of Ceremonies and San Antonio Spurs Mascot Coyote dished up fun for the kids.  Proceeds from the event benefitted the Amschwand Sarcoma Cancer Foundation helping to fund a $25,000 grant awarded to Dr. Charles Keller (UTHSC-San Antonio).  The focus of Keller's work will be on determing the role of Platelet derived growth factor receptor A in Rhabdomyosarcoma -- a form of sarcoma most often affecting children.   

Many thanks to Holly and Blair Jones for organizing this sure to be terrific event and to all the volunteers who made it possible.  Also, a big thanks to event sponsors:  Blair Jones Limousine, Regency Valet, Burdick & Frank, Ltd.,  Pure Cardio, Frost Bank, Flooring Concepts, HEB, Alamo Beer Company, Savvy Technology Solutions, URBAN Concrete Contractors, Ltd., FREEMAN, Stocker, Pure Omega - 3, and Skin by Design Dematology & Laser Center, P.A.
