Our coaches did great job grilling for the annual BBQ Bash.
The Villages BBQ Bash is an event benefiting The Villages Charter Schools. Several teams from our community participate in the BBQ competition serving pork, chicken or beef. The school sells wristbands and people line up to get their samples. This was our very first year participating in the BBQ competition. We chose to do Brazilian Style Beef. When we signed up we were told to grill a minimum of 75 pounds of meat and there is good reason for that! We served thousands of people! On our very first year participating in the BBQ Bash we won 3rd place in the beef category.
It was great to see many of you proudly wearing your inaugural t-shirt. We had a wonderful time serving and meeting everyone.
A big thank you to all our volunteers! They set-up, grilled, cut, served, smiled and taste-tested… we could not have done it without you!
The BBQ Bash raises money for The Villages Charter School, which is reason enough to be there. Our coaches worked the line, served the food, and did the part of running a soccer club that has nothing to do with soccer.
While people waited, we asked them to help us with something.
We had two uniform designs and no idea which one to go with. So we put both in front of everybody standing in that line and let them decide.
229 votes to 146. Uniform number one.
When our team runs out this summer, they will be wearing a shirt chosen by people queuing for a plate of food at a school fundraiser. That is a good way for a club's first kit to be decided.
The coaches also entered the competition itself and came third in the beef category.
Thank you to everyone who voted, everyone who ate, and everyone who put the day together.
The Bash raised more than $40,000 for The Villages Charter School.
