Sponshorship Opportunities

It’s that time again! Grill It Yourself, Inc. is getting ready to host our 2nd Annual Live to Grill – Grilling for Life Charity Grill Off, and need your support to make it another great success.

This year we are changing the format a bit by following the guidelines of a true BBQ Cook-Off as seen on TV. There will be 4 categories this year. Ribs,Chicken,Pork Shoulder or Butt and the ever challenging Brisket. For those willing to take on that challenge, 1 person will claim the title of Cape Coral’s BBQ Champion.

We need your help. With your contribution and support, an event of this size can take place and will be free to the public. All we ask of the spectators is a can food donation. We feel an event focused around food, it made sense to incorporate a can food drive to give back to those less fortunate and struggling among us.

Community Cooperative Ministries along with Grace United Methodist is in the process of opening Grace Community Center. This center will provide a food pantry, warm meals, after school programs to keep kids off the street, literacy and vocational classes, along with many other programs that will benefit our community. The best part is, this center will also provide faith and hope. For those that just need a place to go for a chance at a better future and spiritual as well as mental up lifting. Coming together as a community shows our commitment to making this world a better place.
