The Friends Foundation 25th Annual Barbecue Fundraiser Benefiting the Elderly

The Friends Foundation will host their 25th Annual BBQ Fundraiser at The Salt Lick’s Pecan Grove at 18200 RM 1826 in Driftwood, on Thursday, October 11, 2018 from 5 p.m. to 9p.m. Guests will enjoy an evening of live music, Salt Lick BBQ, and more.

The self-serve Salt Lick Barbecue buffet line will be open from 6 p.m. to 8p.m. The award winning Hot Texas Swing Band, proudly playing Western Swing, the state music of Texas, will provide musical entertainment. Arrive early to preview items in the Live and Silent auctions (voted #1 in Central Texas), and purchase a wristband for a fun and exciting game of Heads or Tails. Mr. Bama Brown of KVET 98.1 FM radio will be the event’s Master of Ceremonies.

BBQ buffet tickets are $25 per person (children 6 and under are free) and available at the door. Guests may also enjoy product samples in the hospitality area featuring: Thirsty Planet Brewery, Duchman Family Winery, Dripping Springs Vodka, and Moonshine Sweet Tea, as well as appetizers from Thai Gourmet.

All monies raised help support The Friends Foundation’s programs such as: Our Daily Bread – a hot meal delivery program for the homebound; Philips Lifeline a medic alert device for summoning help in an emergency; Financial Assistance in times of dire need; special events at Hill Country Care for their residents; and other worthy programs improving the quality of life for the elderly.
