THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank everyone for your support this year at The Big Chill. Because of your generosity, it was our most successful fundraiser event yet to date! Your support and donations are continuing to make a tremendous impact in the lives of those in the community.

What is The Big Chill?
The Big Chill is our biggest and most exciting fundraising event of the year! Each July, to celebrate National Ice Cream Day, we host a huge ice-cream-themed celebration, complete with live music, food trucks, face painting, and more.
A dozen or so community organizations and faith groups will prepare gallons of homemade ice cream for event goers to enjoy, and at the end of the event, a celebrity judge will determine which homemade ice cream is the winner. Event attendees can also vote for their favorite ice cream by donating at that group’s station. The ice cream with the most money raised by the end of the event is crowned with the “People’s Choice” Award. You can vote for one of our ice cream makers today by clicking their name below and making a donation on their page!

The other “chill” part of The Big Chill is our “Cold Callers” or ice sitters. They are the folks who take turns sitting on large blocks of ice and calling friends, family, coworkers, and more, encouraging them to donate to The Shalom Project. This July our Cold Callers alone raised over $35,000 to support our programs and client families. You can still click on a name below to make a gift to the Cold Caller of your choice!
