The annual Summer Fun BBQ fundraiser is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and everyone is invited.
Join hosts Mr. and Mrs. Verlon Prewitt on Saturday, August 13 at 6pm for “Summer Fun BBQ under the Big Top.” The event will be held at the Prewitt farm on Cedar Grove Road in Irvine. This year’s BBQ features a buffet meal, live and silent auctions, and a circus-themed night of summer fun.
Hospice Care Plus staff member Nikki Stuart says the BBQ event has become a staple in the community and an important source of support for Hospice.
“The incredible volunteers who organize the event have raised at least $90-$95,000 these first 9 years. The organizers give every penny to Hospice to support our programs and services. It’s been a huge way that the Estill County community has stepped up to make hospice care available for everyone, regardless of ability to pay.”
Citizens Guarantee Bank in Irvine has organized the Summer Fun BBQ each year as a way to support Hospice Care Plus.
“Citizens Guarantee does an outstanding job planning the event,” says Nikki. “They make sure it’s casual and fun.”
Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased online at our secure registration page or by calling Tina Pasley at Citizens Guarantee Bank at 606-726-2003.
