Event Details
Is this going to be the holiday party, A Not So silent Night, or a world record attempt?
If you’ve been to a Revelas Family Foundation event over the past 10 years, you’ll know we like to mix things up. This is our holiday event, A Not So Silent Night, with a twist. For this year’s event we could not think of a better way to break the stigma surrounding mental health than attempting to break a world record!

World Record Attempt Details
What world record are we attempting to break?
We are attempting to break the world record largest chicken wing contest. The current record is held by Amazon Web Services, and had 397 participants in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 25 2018.
What is the format of the contest?
It will be a five minute competition to determine who can eat the most wings in that time span. Following the five minutes, our record stewards will count the chicken wings consumed by each participant. In the event of the tie there will be a 60 second tiebreaker round until a winner is determined.
How many wings do I have to eat?
-
You can enjoy a few wings or go for gold, but as a participant in the record you must be actively eating throughout the five minute record attempt.
-
The record we are attempting to break is most people eating chicken wings at once, not the number of wings eaten
-
If wings aren't for you, you can also support the cause by attending A Not So Silent Night as a spectator, the more the merrier as we want all of Buffalo come together to make history! Get your spectator ticket here!
