The 5th Dane Kaleta Memorial BBQ is raising money for a number of important groups and organizations.
All proceeds raised during the BBQ go towards the Ronald McDonald House, the Dane Kaleta Memorial Scholarship Fund, and new this year the Dauphin Girl Guides.
The annual event takes place at the Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy Parking Lot from 11 to 2.
Curtis Kaleta, an organizer, says this event is all about creating awareness around an issue that affects many in the Parkland.
“It’s all about the awareness around the stigma of sick children. Lots of people don’t want to talk about their sick children, but it’s good to talk about it and know that there are people out there that know your pain.”
Kaleta, is ready to host the fundraiser.
“This is an important BBQ fundraiser for us because it’s a memorial BBQ, our son did, unfortunately, pass away 2 years ago. That’s why I’ve decided to keep doing it is to keep building awareness for Ronald McDonalds House. There’s people each and every day that need the house.
In the last 4 years, the BBQ has raised over $36,000 for Ronald McDonald House and $16,000 for different clubs around Dauphin.
