The Impact Club is dedicated to empowering women, fostering leadership, and making a positive difference in the Englewood area through fundraising and service projects.
With its combination of friendly competition, community spirit, and charitable impact, Burgerfest in Paradise continues to be a highlight on the local calendar. Organizers, participants, and attendees alike are already looking forward to next year’s event, where new challengers will step up to the grill in hopes of claiming the next Burger Master title.
