Head to the beach on a brisk Sunday afternoon in March to taste some chili, and you can support the 2017 Safe Graduation Party!
The Safe Grad Chili Cook-off at Lenny’s on the Beach in Soundview will offer an array of homemade chilis — all different types and different recipes — for visitors to taste and then vote for their favorites. Traditional accompaniments like cornbread and oyster crackers are included. Beverages, including Lenny’s own Soundview Brewing Co “Brew with the View,” will be available for purchase.
The Safe Grad Chili Cook-off takes place on Sunday, March 26, from 1 to 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person, available at the door. Lenny’s is located on the beach at 88 Hartford Avenue, Old Lyme.
Proceeds benefit the 2017 Safe Graduation Party. March Madness will be on the TV — or simply enjoy the spectacular view of Long Island Sound while you help choose the best chili!
The Safe Graduation Party is an all-night, substance-free party for Lyme–Old Lyme High School seniors, taking place on graduation night in a secret, secure location. The kids will have all sorts of activities to keep them busy — sports, movies, music, games, food, etc. But it’s also a chance for our graduates to enjoy their last night together as a class, a night they’ll remember for years to come.
The total cost, including bus transportation and dinner beforehand, is not paid for by the school nor the school district. The Safe Grad Committee raises funds from the class and through various fundraisers like the fall pie sale, restaurant nights, and the Chili Cook-off.
In the coming weeks there will be a few more restaurant nights, a raffle, Dumpster Day, and more! Lyme/Old Lyme Safe Graduation Party is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
