Houston, TX (February 20, 2017) - The 7th Annual Kosher Chili Cookoff is proud to announce its official 2017 sponsors for its annual community event on Sunday, February 26 at the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center.

"We will honor them by putting on our greatest event yet with our 7th Annual Kosher Chili Cookoff.
