    All they ask is that you pay this generosity forward to RNCH and the Beth Donovan Hospice by making a donation.

    There are no set prices for the food, the only ask is for cash donations in lieu of paying for lunch.

    This event has raised tens of thousands of dollars over the years.

    As always, the event will also include a silent auction. Previous years have featured NHL jerseys and sticks, golf bags, spa packages, local distiller baskets, high end coolers, local products and even flights with an instructor in a Cessna! Deluxe cuts has come to donate haircuts, and there will be a few more surprises. For more information, visit the Battlefield Barbecue website.
