Community Calendar

The evening features award-winning BBQ, an open bar, live music, raffles, a corn hole tournament, and a silent auction, all to raise funds for the Cool Kids programs like tutoring, care packages, smile celebrations, and more. Every dollar raised goes directly to these vital services for families going through some of life’s hardest challenges.

Your support would not only bring smiles to our guests but also help us give strength and joy to some incredibly brave kids in our community.
