SMOKE ON THE LAKE BBQ FESTIVAL ANNUAL FUND RAISER

Our annual fundraiser is the Smoke on the Lake BBQ Festival, held on Friday night and Saturday, Mother's Day weekend, in May each year at Logan Farm Park in Acworth. This is a partnership with the City of Acworth and the Acworth Business Association. Thousands attend to enjoy BBQ cooked by competitive backyard cook teams. All net proceeds go to charitable organizations with over 90% going to local groups and organizations. 10% of our funds go to International Service efforts. We raise $75,000 annually that we invest back into the Community.
