Whether you’d like to get involved on an individual level or as a business through event sponsorship, we offer several ways for you to support our work while having a great time!



CHILI COOK-OFF

The 45th Annual API Chili Cook-Off will be held Saturday, March 28, 2026 at the Raymond Family Community Center.

The Williston API is proud to host events that bring our community together while raising funds for local organizations and scholarships. 2025's API Chili Cook-Off exceeded all expectations, with 22 competing teams, 100+ sponsors, and over 1,500 attendees, resulting in over $110,000 raised to support scholarships and community programs.


The money raised from this event will directly impact local organizations, scholarships, and charitable programs, including:

  • API Scholarship Program
  • Giving Hearts Day Donations (Coyote Clay Target League, Upper Missouri Ministries, Eckert Youth Home, Salvation Army)
  • Community Support (Williston Flyers Pee Wee Hockey, Korner Lions, Family Crisis Shelter, Keene VFD, Kids Day Out Foundation, WHS After Prom, WRED)

A huge THANK YOU to all the sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who made this event possible. Your support helps us continue making a difference in the Bakken! We look forward to seeing you at the 45th Annual API Chili Cook-Off next year March 28, 2026!
