The event will feature both gumbo and chili from competing teams representing area medical practices and local businesses.
The Gumbo Chili Showdown was created in 2008 by USA medical students and continues to be a project organized by students at the USA College of Medicine.
The event supports a scholarship created in memory of Regan Robinson, a medical student at USA who was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer in 2003 at the age of 23. The scholarship provides assistance to a rising senior medical student who embodies Regan’s spirit and character.
Last year, the event had 2,000 attendees, and more than $20,000 was raised for the Reagan Robinson Scholarship Fund.
