February 6, 2025
5:00pm
Get your toques on and tasting spoons out! Walden’s Chili-Cook Off is back Thursday, February 6th at 5:00pm in the Tucker Assembly Hall Cafeteria! Stop by to taste and vote for your favorite homemade chili before faculty and students tip off Walden's Annual Basketbrawl showdown at 6:00pm and into the first half of the game.
For $5 a person you can taste and vote for your favorite freestyle, spicy, or vegetarian chili. Or if chili gives you a shiver, head to the concession stand outside the gym for cheese pizza, homestyle desserts, and drinks.
Chili chefs, here’s your chance to become Walden’s next Chili Cook-Off Champion! If you think you have what it takes to earn a coveted golden spoon or go home with prizes, please complete the entry form by Friday, January 31st and plan to provide roughly a crockpot’s worth of chili.
Sampling cups, napkins, and tasting spoons will be provided. Winners will be announced at Basketbrawl halftime.
The annual Basketbrawl is a wonderful opportunity for us to gather and demonstrate one of four core values - community. Keeping the value of community front of mind is why Walden is proud to announce that beginning with this year’s version of the Basketbrawl, we will use this annual community event as a celebration of life for one of our very own, Alayna Borowick.
Celebrating Alayna Borowick’s Spirit
Alayna was a 2019 graduate of Walden and a force of nature on the volleyball court. She was a bright light who truly embodied the core value of community while she was a student at Walden. Whether it was giving back to the athletic department through assistant coaching with the Middle School volleyball program or organizing themed spirit weeks and bringing the student body together around various sporting events, Alayna spent her time at Walden cultivating and caring for her Wolverine community.
As a school, we are honored to take the opportunity to gather annually and celebrate her spirit.
