Looking to raise money for your church, team, school, or any other organization that you may be involved with? Our staff has the experience to assist you in making the most of your fundraiser event. Our program offers a more complete package than our competitors.
THE BEST BBQ IN TOWN
Nobody's chicken or sides beat the taste of our restaurant-tested products. We provide the tastiest chicken, homemade sides, and also other BBQ options for your fundraiser.
BBQ RIG
Rain or shine, we're covered! Our mobile charcoal fired pits are also raised to avoid burning the ground. We set up a 10' x 20' serving tent with tables and hot and cold food holding cabinets.
STAFF & GRILLMASTERS
Our staff starts early in the morning, cooking sides, baking cornbread, and loadng the truck. We arrive 2-3 hours before serve time to fire up the pits, set up the tables and tents, put up the signs and grill the chicken. Serve time is 3 1/2 hours or until the food runs out.
PROMOTION
Two weeks prior to the event, we will mail to you Sticky Lips BBQ posters that you can personalize with your event information. Post these on local business, church, and school bulletin boards. The name Sticky Lips BBQ means quality, which will help drive ticket sales. The day of the event we set up two 3' x 10' signs and two roadside signs.
MONROE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT.
For events in Monroe County, we will cover the paperwork and $55 temporary health permit fee. We will have a certified food handler on site.
TICKET SALES (SELL, SELL, SELL!)
Preselling tickets is the best way to gauge the size of your event. We suggest to make each member of your organization responsible for selling a certain number of tickets. For additional promotion ideas, contact media outlets such as local papers, D&C Our Towns, radio, and TV.

PROMOTIONAL SIGNS (VERY IMPORTANT!)
For a small fee, we can supply your group with double-sided Sticky Lips BBQ Fundraiser lawn signs, or you can get creative and build your own A-frame type signs to place at the venue and around town. The more exposure, the better!

LOCATION SET-UP
If selling to the public, consider a high traffic area for better visibility. In bad weather, you may want to serve inside. In that case, it's best to have our BBQ rig as close to the inside serving line as possible.
SERVING TIME
Your volunteers (we recommend 4-6) dish out the food and collect the money and pre-sale tickets. We provide the gloves, you supply the hats.
TAX EXEMPT?
If your organization is tax exempt, you will need to provide the proper form prior to the event. Otherwise, your organization is responsible for collecting sales tax.
CONTRACT
We'll need a signed contract at least 14 days prior to the event. Please tell us your final food count 5 days prior to the event.
PRE-SALES
In order for us to bring the BBQ rig on site, your organization must pre-sell a minimum of 250 dinners. No need to worry, if your number is between 75 and 199, we can instead cater with our Drop-Off BBQ Fundraiser.
DROP-OFF BBQ FUNDRAISER
We still cook up our great quality barbecue. Instead of cooking on site, we'll prepare at our restaurant and bring the food out to you. For an additional fee, we will supply you the necessary food holding and serving equipment that is yours to keep. Also, a staff member will help your organization set up and teach your volunteers how to serve the food.
