Get ready for a unique day of fun, food, and fundraising at the Chili Open Golf Classic on Saturday, January 31, 2026! This isn't your typical golf tournament; it's an exciting event held on a special, makeshift course at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. Come out and play two of the four nine-hole, par-three courses while supporting a fantastic cause. All funds raised will go directly to Project Give Shelter, an initiative by Project Self-Sufficiency dedicated to helping local residents with emergency housing needs. Your participation makes a real difference in the lives of families right here in Sussex County.
But the Chili Open is about more than just golf! After you’ve worked up an appetite on the course, you can enjoy a delicious lunch featuring a variety of chili, other tasty food, and a selection of beverages. The day will be filled with live music from R.E.N.O. the Band, creating a lively and festive atmosphere for everyone. You can also test your skills at the putting contest or try your luck in the raffles and a 50/50 draw for a chance to win great prizes.
This wonderful community event is made possible with the help of the Rotary Clubs of Branchville, Newton, and Wallkill. It’s a perfect opportunity to gather with friends, enjoy a day outdoors, and support the vital work of Project Self-Sufficiency. Mark your calendars and prepare for a memorable day of giving back and having a great time.
