Rock ‘n Ribs for Charity

Posted online
The Rotary Clubs of Springfield on Aug. 7 present a donation of $130,000 raised during the 2008 Rock ’n Ribs BBQ Festival in April. This year’s gift brings the total donated via Rock ’n Ribs to local children’s charities to $570,000.

Fifty-four barbecue teams from a six-state region competed this year, and about 24,000 people attended the 2008 event, which benefited seven local charities: Boys and Girls Town of Missouri; Ronald McDonald House Charities Tooth Truck; Boy Scouts of America Ozark Trails Council; Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks; Good Samaritan Boys Ranch; Ozarks Regional YMCA; and Developmental Center of the Ozarks.

The 2009 Rock ’n Ribs event is scheduled for April 17–18.[[In-content Ad]]
