This past weekend, our CEO Ben Rathbun and COO Laura Stoken had the pleasure of attending the first annual Spicy Bowls Chili Cookoff, an event filled with delicious food, laughter, and a

strong sense of community. It was an amazing opportunity to connect with local friends, family, and businesses while supporting two incredible local non-profits: T.W.I.G.S. and Mark Advocacy.

The event brought together people from across the community to taste and vote on a wide variety of chili recipes, from the spicy to the sweet, all crafted by talented local chefs and home cooks. Ben and Laura shared not only their enthusiasm for chili but also their deep commitment to the community, joining in the laughter and warmth that filled the day.

At Rathbun Insurance, we believe in the power of giving back, and being part of an event like this is a reminder of why our "Being There Matters Most" vision is so important. Supporting T.W.I.G.S. and Mark Advocacy is just one of the many ways we aim to make a difference, both in our community and beyond.

Whether it's through community events, outreach, or our daily interactions, we are proud to be a part of what makes this area special. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the chili, laughs, and friendship. It was truly a memorable event for a great cause, and we can’t wait for next year!

Stay tuned for more events and opportunities to connect with us and the community!
