JOIN THE NETWORKBBQ for Good
Doing Good Is Part of Our DNA
The BBQ World Cup and Smoke Signal believe barbecue is more than competition — it’s community. Our mission includes giving back to the people and places that make BBQ what it is. Through youth mentorship, veteran support, and hunger relief efforts, we’re using the power of BBQ to make a real difference.
Youth
Lighting the Next Generation’s Fire
Inspiring youth through mentorship, education & BBQ skills.
We believe the future of BBQ starts with the next generation. Through youth programs, mentorship, and hands-on cooking experiences, we aim to introduce kids and young adults to the joy, creativity, and community of barbecue. From school partnerships to junior competitions, we’re helping ignite confidence, connection, and curiosity through cooking
Honoring Those Who Serve & Protect
Honoring Those Who Serve
Supporting active-duty service members, veterans, first responders, and their families through food and community.
BBQ has always been a way to bring people together — especially those who sacrifice for us. We’re committed to supporting active-duty service members, veterans, and their families through community cookouts, charitable partnerships, and opportunities to reconnect through BBQ. These meals aren’t just food — they’re moments of gratitude, togetherness, and healing.
Fighting Hunger Through Food & Community
Feeding Communities That Need It Most
Fighting hunger through community meals & relief partnerships.
No one should go hungry — and BBQ has the power to bring comfort when it’s needed most. We partner with food banks, local organizations, and community leaders to support hunger relief initiatives across the country. By mobilizing pitmasters, volunteers, and events, we use BBQ as a force for compassion and nourishment.
