Students race beds, taste chili at annual campus philanthropy event

By Abby Rathburn | Staff Writer Steaming bowls of chili, an inflatable obstacle course and hospital beds racing down the street brought students to The Quad Friday evening for the annual Chili Cookoff and Bed Races (CCOBR) event. Hosted through a long-standing partnership between Alpha Tau Omega, Chi Omega and Baylor Activities Council, the event sold $10 food, $5 inflatable and $12 combo wristbands to attendees. This gave attendees access to chili tastings, local food vendors such as Shorty’s Pizza and Tres Manos and some on-campus activities. According to Fort Worth sophomore and BAC Program Manager Gavin Schoffler, all “proceeds then go towards CoHOPE and Make-A-Wish.” CoHOPE, short for Cradle of H.O.P.E., is the philanthropic cause ATO supports. It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing global hunger relief, clean water and education to communities in need.
