On September 20th and 21st, the Rotary Club of Round Rock held their annual fundraiser called The BBQ Cook Off & The BBQ Thing in Round Rock, TX. We had 21 cook off teams participate in the state championship, sanctioned event in coordination with the Lone Star BBQ Society.
After judging was completed, we took the championship BBQ and served it to the attendees of The BBQ Thing. There was amazing food, live music, lots of games, and a reverse raffle. We had around 250 people in attendance and had volunteers from other Rotary clubs, other local non-profits, and friends of Rotary. We also hosted a non-profit showcase to give additional exposure to 9 different non-profits. We raised over $40,000 through sponsorships, ticket and team sales, raffle tickets, and game sales!
