In 2017, the Wolverine Legacy Fund was founded to award monetary grants to support and enhance Windermere High School’s (WHS) Academics, Arts, and Athletics. After bringing over $60,000 in donations to WHS, our organization is expanding with the launch of Legacy Events for Education! Our mission is to organize large scale events in western Orange County, Florida to raise funds for scholarships and grants to students and teachers at local schools. With the increasing costs of both college tuition and school expenses not covered by the district, community support is needed more than ever!

CASI Sanctioned Event
What is CASI?
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.
