2024 BBQ FOR THE TROOPS


The 11th Annual BBQ for the Troops fundraiser is taking place again this summer. Each July, Chicagoland new-car dealers rally together for this grassroots initiative that directly supports the USO. Since 2013, dealers have raised over $1.1M for local troops and their families. The fundraisers ranged from small lunches, to full community festivals featuring patriotic ceremonies, classic car shows, live music, family games and more.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Eleven years ago, the CATA and area new-car dealers partnered with the USO to create the Barbecue for the Troops campaign to raise money for our local troops and their families. What started as a few hot dogs and tin can has now grown into an annual festival which brings in thousands of dollars. In fact, the program’s lifetime total is over $1.2 million raised for the USO!

Dealers are giving back throughout the entire month of July

Visit a participating dealer to partake in the fun. Attend one of the many barbecues that will be taking place at participating locations on Saturday, July 13 across the Chicagoland area for fresh-off-the-grill food, fun and fundraising.
Can't make it to a barbecue? Take a test drive at one of the participating dealers and a donation will be made for every test drive in the month of July.
