CarBQ is a “drive through” themed fundraising event held every November at Tigertown. This year’s event will be November 20th from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm. Over 100 volunteers meet at dawn to assemble 3000 lunches that are delivered throughout the community. Many employers purchase CarBQ lunches for their employees to demonstrate their appreciation or to celebrate the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. CarBQ has been a huge success over the past two years.
