The Friends of Tri-Valley Foundation is preparing for its annual spring fundraiser, Boardwalk BBq. The 2026 event will be held on Friday, May 1 at the SEK Impact Center in Chanute. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with the event starting at 6 p.m.
Proceeds from the event will help the Friends of Tri-Valley Foundation continue its mission to improve the lives of our neighbors with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Money raised from past events has helped the Foundation to build six homes as well as acquire nine homes and one duplex in our communities of Buffalo, Chanute, Fort Scott, Humboldt, Iola, Neodesha, and Moline. Thanks to our Friends’ generous support, these houses are now home to 92 neighbors with intellectual/developmental disabilities.
“Boardwalk BBq is gearing up to be an exciting and fun event” stated Tricia Campbell, Special Projects Coordinator. “Our goal is to raise $20,000 at this year’s event. We are excited to hold our event at SEK Impact Center for the third year in a row. We are excited to announce that Entertainer Robbi Bell will once again perform for our event. Last year’s entertainment was wonderful.”
The event will include silent and stretch auctions featuring items from local businesses.
Tickets and sponsorships are still available. For more information, contact Tricia Campbell at either 620431-7655 or at [email protected] Please visit our website at www.tvds.org/ boardwalkbbq.
