Sponsors

South West Florida Horse Rescue (SWFHR) is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming horses from distressed, neglected, or abusive situations. As a community partner, your sponsorship of this event will contribute to its success and provide valuable support for our cause.

Our Chili Fest will draw a large crowd, ensuring your business gets significant exposure. In previous years, we welcomed over 600 patrons each year and numerous volunteers, vendors, and event supporters. Your sponsorship benefits the event day itself and will continue to reach a wider audience through promotional efforts leading up to and after the event.
