Special Announcement: The CASI 54th Terlingua International Chili Championship has been postponed until November 2021.
September is CASI's "Salute to the CASI Pods and Great Peppers" Month
CASI Chili Pods (chapters) are groups of chili cooks devoted to promoting chili, charity, and fun. These CASI Pods offer the opportunity for individuals to share their passion for chili with others and participate at many different levels in CASI sanctioned events year around. The leader of each CASI Chili Pod is the Great Pepper. Each September the CASI Pods send their Great Peppers to the CASI Annual Business meeting. The Great Peppers, along with the CASI Board of Directors, meet to vote on new rules and procedures. CASI salutes the hard work of each CASI Pod and Great Pepper to assist the organization to reach their mission and vision as a non-profit organization.
Our CASI members and friends raise funds for charities throughout the year by competing in sanctioned CASI chili cookoffs.
Each year, CASI sanctions nearly 400 domestic and international chili cookoffs as qualifying events for the CASI Terlingua International Chili Championship©, known as TICC. CASI was the original organizer of the first chili championship in Terlingua in 1967. These sanctioned events raise approximately $1,000,000 annually for the local and national charities that work with the cookoff organizers. This ultimate chili championship is held the first Saturday of November annually at Rancho CASI de los Chisos near Terlingua, Texas. The CASI Championship event is a fundraiser for local Terlingua charities and organizations and funds CASI's scholarship programs.
