Backyard BBQ Bash returns to Jefferson City June 2 with food, fun, and purpose
Jefferson City, Mo. – Some of the best moments in life happen around a table, and on Tuesday, June 2, the community is invited to gather for an evening that brings those moments to life.
Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association will host its annual Backyard BBQ Bash from 5:30-9 p.m. at The Millbottom, 400 W. Main St., Jefferson City. The relaxed, family-friendly event brings people together for great food, connection, and a shared purpose of supporting foster, adoptive, and kinship families across central Missouri.
For $35, guests will enjoy a BBQ pork steak dinner cooked to perfection by MFA Oil volunteer grillers, along with classic sides like cheesy potatoes and baked beans, plus a drink. The evening will also feature music from DJ Soul Sisters, a whiskey/wine pull, and a silent auction filled with experiences and items designed to bring families together. Interactive entertainment will include a golf simulator, cornhole and a photo booth, among other things.
Proceeds from the event support CMFCAA’s work across its 24-county service area, including emergency backpacks for children entering care, respite opportunities for caregivers, youth mentoring, advocacy, and family preservation programs.
“This is one of those evenings where you can simply come as you are, enjoy great food, and know you are making a real difference,” said Jill Quaid, CEO of CMFCAA. “Every ticket, every bid, every moment of support helps create stability, connection, and hope for the families we serve.”
The Backyard BBQ Bash continues to grow as a summer tradition in Jefferson City, offering a welcoming space for community members, supporters, and partners to come together around a cause that impacts children and families every day.
