Lightning Home Loans & ECO are making a difference this year, by teaming up with local businesses to sponsor families for Christmas, to help brighten the Holidays for those in need.
A great group of business owners & employees have decided to dedicate their taste buds in honor of raising money, for families in need this Holiday season. The participants will be competing in the Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin' & Wild Wing Challenge. The participants must eat 10 Carolina Reaper Wings in 5 minutes or less for the Blazin' challenge & 10 Wild Wings in 5 minutes or less for the Wild Style challenge.
