Claremore Tradition Gives Back in 2020
It's the family-friendly event that has become an October tradition in Claremore for the last 8 years. And ZipperQ is back in 2020...with a big change! Due to ongoing concerns with large crowds in light of COVID-19, ZipperQ is shifting from an in-person BBQ competition to a large BBQ dinner donation event for 25 local area nonprofits and first-responder agencies.
Here are all the details:
- BBQ teams are invited to register to cook on October 3.
- Your team can prepare any meal you like (meat, mac and cheese, beans or more), from any location you prefer.
- At 3 pm, your team will deliver your meal to the local organization you select in advance.
- After you register, you will be contacted to select your organization (there will be a list to choose from or you can select one of your own).
- To make sure meals are provided for as many organizations as possible, only one team per organization. This will be on a first come-first served basis.
- Teams will be provided a ZipperQ placard so we hope you'll take a picture with your prepared meal and we can share how ZipperQ teams are giving back in 2020!
- Please note, if the organization your team is cooking for is able to make a donation, feel free to ask for $10 per plate as a donation to ZipperQ.
Sponsorships are available! Sponsoring ZipperQ is a great way for your company to get exposure in the community and support the International FOP Association which funds research to find a cure for FOP while supporting individuals and their families through education, public awareness and advocacy.
