ANOTHER RECORD YEAR FOR CBBQA FUND RAISING!
The great members of the California BBQ Association have done it again.
We work year long raising funds for numerous California Children's Charities.
Our non profit group hands over thousands each year. We surpassed the 2009
record of 58k with a 2010 amount of of over 70k and still growing as new totals
are still pending.
We conduct BBQ classes, help charities sell BBQ at events, and lend a
hand whenever we can to help fund so many Children's charities statewide.
The CBBQA also supports many other charities that are not listed here including
but not limited to Troop charities.
