5801 Video Lounge held a charity chili cook-off last weekend. Nine local LGBTQ+ non-profits participated, including Allies for Health + Wellbeing, Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation, Proud Haven, Shepherd Wellness Community, the Steel City Pups, Steel City Softball League, Stonewall Bowling, Stonewall Kickball, and TransYouniting.

TranYOUniting won “Best Chili” with their “Frankenstein’s Fetish” chili, a white chicken chili garnished with red onion and sour cream. Hugh Lane Wellness came in second place and Proud Haven came in third.

Nearly $1,600.00 was raised for the non-profits.
