Its time once again for our big VA cook in Milwaukee. This year we plan to cook for around 1500 vets! This looks to be a huge event, and we could really use some help from the brethren.
Guys, the overhead for this event is pretty big. Meats, breads, drinks, plates, forks, napkins, foil, pans, sauces, rubs, sides, etc. The list is a mile long. Sirporkalot has graciously donated Q salt from Naturiffic for the chicken. Steph at Simply Marvelous has donated Spicy Apple for the butts, and Big Poppa is donating Granny's BBQ Sauce for the ribs. Woodmark from Milwaukee is donating the hickory. That leaves a LOT that we still need. Mainly MONEY!
These cooks have really grown quickly. So quickly, in fact, OIFMarine started a 501(c)(3) for us so that we could more easily solicit donations from larger companies. You can check out our charity here - www.midwestbbqoutreach.com Guys, we could really use some help with funds for this cook. OIFMarine, ChicagoKP, and I are banging on doors and begging for cash all the live long day, but we're not quite where we need to be. Any help would be great appreciated! If we over raise, the money will be used to make this an even better event. If we REALLY over raise, it just gives us a leg up on the next event.
Also, if you have a business or if your employer would like to be a sponsor, please let me know. That's why we did the whole 501 thing! Fully tax deductible and we have a sign sponsor, so your business will get promotion during the event.

Thank you all for your continued support of our veterans. We couldn't do all this without the continued support of the brethren.
