From the Heart

March 2023

Message from the Co-Founders

Operation BBQ Relief is preparing for storm season and upcoming events for The Always Serving Project and development. We are actively recruiting new volunteers. If you love BBQ and love people, please download our App and invite others to do the same.

We are making great progress at Camp OBR. Follow our social media pages at @opbbqrelief to see the most current updates.

We look forward to the 3rd Annual Celebrity BBQ Academy and Golf Classic in Kansas City on May 22, 2023! We encourage you to sign up to participate in the event – https://operationbbqrelief.org/2023-golf-tournament/.

Thank you to all our volunteers, sponsors, and supporters. We appreciate the generosity as we continue to share the healing power of BBQ with communities throughout the country.

Much respect,

Stan Hays, CEO
Will Cleaver, CPO and Head of Finance
