Dear Big T Memorial Cook-Off Community,
With heavy hearts, we regret to announce that our 14th Annual Big T Memorial BBQ Cookoff will not take place this year. This event has been a cornerstone in raising funds for life skills classes and other activities for special needs students, and we are heartbroken over the need to cancel the cookoff for 2025. Unfortunately, everyone has felt a financial squeeze these past couple of years, and this affects many organizations like ours that rely on donor support from our small communities.
To ensure that we can continue to support our cause this year, we are EXCITED to share that our Annual Touch-A-Truck Event and Kids Cookoff will GO ON as planned on October 25, 2025! Please be patient with us as we regroup and stay tuned for more details on this fun, family-friendly event.
We remain committed to our mission of supporting individuals with special needs, and we appreciate your continued support. Thank you for standing with us. We hope to bring back the cook-off in 2026!

Sponsorship
We hope you will consider partnering with Golden Circle Special Needs Association by sponsoring our event through one of our sponsorship packages this year. As a sponsor, you will not only be supporting a worthy cause but also gaining valuable exposure for your brand. Your sponsorship would help us further our mission of giving to special needs schools and activities in our local five-county area. In return, we offer various benefits, such as logo placement, social media mentions, and VIP tables at the event. All event sponsors and payout sponsors will be featured on our 2024 event t-shirt, receive social media shout-outs in various formats, and have the opportunity to provide promotional items for the goodie bags given to our cook teams.
