'Cue for a Cause

Come to the biggest backyard BBQ in Elmhurst!

Sept 1st, 2024, noon-7pm

York & Vallette Streets, Elmhurst IL

‘Cue for a Cause is the most delicious fundraiser in town! Competitors roll up their sleeves and roll out their grills to see who can deliver the winning barbecue. While teams work to prove they are the masters of the backyard grill, attendees at this family friendly event cheer them on, enjoy live music, raffles, entertainment, good food and drink.

This community event invites everyone to participate, whether wearing an apron or not, and it supports the work of EWAN.
