OUR REQUEST

It is a pleasure for me to write to you today, to request a donation towards assisting Jamie Shepherd and his fundraising committee in their 9^th Annual Bitch’n BBQ taking place on Saturday, August 11, 2012 from noon-midnight.  Please accept our heartfelt thanks for all of your FANTASTIC past support.  We issue charitable receipts upon request. Last year’s BBQ raised an AMAZING $4,440.00 plus donations of excellent beef, salads, beverages, buns and condiments for our homeless youth.  As one of our supporters of this event YOU ARE TRULY AWESOME.

MISSION STATEMENT
