CINCINNATI (WKRC) – After a couple lost their son to epilepsy in 2022, they decided to turn their grief into good.
Jill and Dave Heltman hosted their 2nd annual chili cookoff fundraiser on Sunday for their nonprofit Axl Foundation, named for their son. Their organization raises money to help provide service dogs to kids with special needs. The chili cookoff included live music, raffles and an auction.
“All we can do is try to make a terrible thing a good thing for other people, and if we can get one dog to one child, that gets that child help and our boy wasn’t able to receive in the middle of the night, then it’s all worth it,” said Dave.
Tickets for the event were $23 for adults and $11 for children in honor of Axl’s birthday on Nov. 23.
