Today, we held our annual Chili Cook-Off to support the Greater Cleveland Food Bank’s Harvest for Hunger campaign! The event, organized by legal secretary/“Chili Coordinator” Suzanne Romanin, featured 12 delicious chili recipes prepared by our talented attorneys and staff. From traditional to creative, every bowl packed a punch—and every donation made a difference. ? We’re proud to combine a little friendly competition with a big impact on our community. Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped make this year’s event a success. ? #TuckerEllis #CommunityEngagement #HarvestForHunger #ChiliCookOff
