The annual Hilton Head Island Kiwanis Chili Cook Off & Jeep Island, presented by Renewal by Andersen, enters its 40th year in 2025 at the beautiful Lowcountry Celebration Park on the island’s south end. Cooks compete to earn 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards in Professional, Amateur, and People’s Choice categories. The first-place winners earn cash prize donations to the youth cause of their choice! Past winners have benefited the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head Island, Bikers Against Child Abuse, Hilton Head Sertoma, and many more.

Jeep Island is a stunning exposition of Jeeps from around the East Coast! Entries compete in a variety of best-in-show competitions. A donated Jeep is raffled off in one of the most exciting raffles on the island!

The event includes the Kiwanis Grill Team grilling up its legendary burgers and dogs, a Kids Zone, adult beverages, and more! This fundraiser benefits local youth causes and programs. The needs of our local kids are increasing, and we need your help to improve their lives – one kid at a time.
