SAN DIEGO– Xpress Data, Inc., a provider of print and electronic document services, has announced that online registration is now open for the Xpress Data 2015 Credit Union Chili Challenge. The annual event, which is sanctioned by the International Chili Society, will be held August 8 at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club racetrack in Del Mar, Calif. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a great day of chili and horse racing.
“There’s a spirit of friendly competition in the credit union industry, and this is a great opportunity to see it in action,” said Xpress Data founder Mike Cooper. “The fact that it’s a charity event makes it even better.”
Charities will divide $10,000 in prize money after being designated by the first, second and third-place winners.
Participating credit unions provide a $500 entry fee that goes to the prize money, and Xpress Data furnishes each credit union with a 10-foot by 10-foot canopy, two eight-foot tables, two chairs, a two-burner propane stove with propane, a nine-foot custom banner produced from artwork provided by the credit union, one parking pass, and four admission tickets to the racetrack. Credit unions need only provide their chili ingredients and utensils.
“This event is great fun and I’m happy to report that it continues to grow each year,” said Cooper. “We had six credit unions commit before we even opened registration.”
Already committed are Eagle Community Credit Union, OE Federal Credit Union, Kinecta Federal Credit Union, Cabrillo Credit Union, POPA Credit Union and Pacific Marine Credit Union.
