A NOTE FROM THE
             FOUNDER
Dear Potential Sponsor,
I am excited to announce the 2nd Annual Southern Fried Chicken
Challenge will be held on Saturday, September 8, 2018. Thank you for
taking the time to consider partnering with this homegrown event
benefiting The MUSC Children’s Hospital and YES Carolina.
At this family-friendly event, celebrated chefs will compete for their
recipe to be named the best, most delicious fried chicken in the area.
We will bring together friends and family, musical acts and community
organizations on this fun-filled day.
I hope that you can join us as a sponsor and supporter to make this
event successful and a cultural part of Charleston for years to come.
Thank you for your kind consideration of this request. We look forward to
seeing you on September 8th as we enjoy the best fried chicken
Charleston has to offer.
Sincerely,
Jabari Seabrook / Founder
