The Viera Antlers hosted a chili cook-off fundraiser at the lodge Feb. 22 to benefit Family Promise of Brevard, an organization that works to end family homelessness. There was a $10 entry fee and 12 entries. The judges were comprised of lodge members and officers and one parent who did not have a child entered. There were 40 attendees and the event raised $500.
