SWAMP BOYS NATION:
A couple of years ago the Florida BBQ Association sanctioned a contest in Hobbs NM. The organizers and people of Hobbs bent over backwards to encourage anyone from FL to come out and cook their contest. I was fortunate enough to be offered the personal cook trailer of Mark Bateman of Putz Butz BBQ Team, who was also the organizer. He and his wife Jean, along with their crew of volunteers hosted a fantastic contest with the best hospitality, and those of us who went still talk about it today. We have remained friends with the Batemans and everyone else we met that weekend.
Fast forward to now, and we are deeply saddened that Jean Bateman is suffering from Pulmonary Fibrosis. It is currently incurable but we are not satisfied with that. I am putting up a seat for any of my Q Schools in the future. The next class is being held Nov. 11-12 in Winter Haven, FL. Click the PayPal link below to make a donation of $25 to help the Batemans, and help support the search for a cure. 100% of your donation will go to helping. Each $25 donation will earn you a chance in a drawing for a free seat in my class which is valued at $500. When we reach approximately $500 in donations I will have a drawing and notify the winner. Thanks for helping brothers and sisters in need!
Kregg Halbert has been a long time barbecue friend of mine from the beginning. He and his team “Naked Bones” are from Lakeland, about 12 miles away. Within the past two months Kregg and his family have learned that his 6 year old grandson Colton has Stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Of course Colton’s mother (Kregg’s daughter) had to quit her job to be by her son’s side. Money will be tight. This is where we all come in.
I am putting up a seat for any of my Q Schools in the future. The next class is being held June 25-26 in Winter Haven, FL. Click the PayPal link to make a donation of $25 to Colton and his family to help with living expenses. Each $25 donation will earn you a chance in a drawing for a free seat in my class which is valued at $500. When we reach $500 in donations I will have a drawing and notify the winner. Thanks for helping Colton!
