Annual Chili Cook-off for Lily
The sixth Annual Chili Cook-off for cystinosis research was held on October 6, 2024, in honor of Lily Beauregard, in River, Massachusetts. The successful event was organized by Shelli Pereira, a dear friend of the Beauregard family, and Pat Freitas, Lily’s grandmother. The enthusiastic community included the creative chili chefs, the dedicated volunteers, entertaining musicians, and very generous donors. The afternoon festivities and competition resulted in $3,495 raised for CRF and cystinosis research. Thank you to Shelli and Pat for their time and energy to organize and host the fun-filled event. Since the first chili cook-off, over $26,341 has been raised to fund important cystinosis research. We are grateful to the Beauregard family, their friends, and community for creating a brighter future for Lily and all the children and adults affected by cystinosis. Thank you!
