2025 Fire Truck Pull, Chili Challenge & Cake Silent Auction

Description

Sound the alarm – the East Alabama Chamber’s Fire Truck Pull Fundraiser is back on Friday, October 24, 2025 at the Phenix Plaza/Whitewater Express Parking Lot on Whitewater Avenue!

This year, we’re turning up the heat and adding two brand-new events alongside the fan-favorite Fire Truck Pull:

🔥 Chamber Chili Challenge – Stir the pot, bring the spice, and compete for bragging rights in categories of Best Overall Chili and People’s Choice. Enter for $25 or buy tasting cups for $1 each. Each tasting cup comes with a ticket so you can vote on People's Choice. 

🍰 Cake/Pie Silent Auction – Local bakers are donating their best cakes or to be auctioned off. The baker whose cake raises the most dough will take home the Top Dessert Trophy!

🎉 NEW Award: Most Spirited Team – We’re asking all businesses and teams to bring the fun with decorated tents in either a tailgate theme or firehouse theme. Let’s see who brings the most energy, spirit, and creativity to the event grounds!

Of course, the highlight remains the Fire Truck Pull, where 10-person teams test their strength to see who can haul a fire engine the fastest. 💪🚒

All proceeds benefit the East Alabama Chamber Foundation for the Young Leaders of East Alabama program. 

How to Get Involved:

• Register a Fire Truck Pull team ($250 per 10-person team)

• Enter the Chili Challenge ($25 entry fee)

• Donate a Cake for the Silent Auction
