About the BBQ
The Rock Bridge Elementary Chicken BBQ is a longstanding Columbia tradition. This is RBE's main fundraiser, netting approximately $30,000 for our school each year! Proceeds support field trips, technology needs, author/musician visits, special classroom projects, etc!
BBQ Day is a exciting day with delicious food, fun games and activities, and a country store! We also have a large online silent auction that runs during the week leading up to the bbq!
Games
During the event, several spaces are set up with fun carnival games, inflatables, and other activities! Tickets can be pre-purchased or obtained at the BBQ.
$0.25 per ticket. Most games require 2 tickets, some require more.
Country Store
An indoor rummage sale of new, or gently used item, and outgrown RBE spirit wear. Special finds will be waiting!
Silent Auction
The RBE Silent Auction is an online auction that opens for bidding during BBQ week. Winnings will then be available for pick up at the BBQ. Every year you will find awesome items and experiences available to bid on!
How can I help?
This event serves over 2,000 meals, and provides a fun evening for many of all ages! It cannot be done without a lot of work from a lot of people.
Volunteer Time - from smoking chicken in the pits, to soliciting donations for the silent auction, there are many opportunities to volunteer. A sign-up form goes out to families a couple weeks before the BBQ.
Donate Items - Our silent auction is comprised of wonderful items or experiences solicited and donated from businesses or families. Donate gently used items to sell in our country store!
Sell Tickets - The RBE Chicken BBQ is a well-known event in town. Many people that don't have children at our school attend, or at least drive-thru for the delicious chicken! Meal tickets are easy to sell. We also have raffle opportunities with tickets to sell.
Bid on Auction Items - "Bid High and Bid Often!"
Attend and Have Fun! - Invite your family and friends, you don't have to be an RBE Family to attend.
Parking
Our school parking lot will be reserved for handicap parking, drive-thru orders, and specific-shift volunteers (special parking hangtag). All others are required to park at Rock Bridge High School where a continuous shuttle will run from 3:00pm - 7:30pm.
