Whew! We did it – our first This Little Piggy Ate Tri-Tip BBQ was a success! Thanks to the overwhelming support of the community, parents, and teachers we pulled it off… with the grand net profit totalling $5900 – which is $2400 over projection!!

Everyone deserves a thank you but here are a few that went above and beyond:

  • Kohl’s Cares – great volunteers
  • Vons – yummy bread
  • Trumpet Vine Catering– big freezer and chaffing dishes
  • Taylor Rental – bargain deal for the tables and chairs
  • Ron Boyte, Shannon Gann’s father, who seasoned and cooked the tri-tip
  • Jean Louis Jaureguy – none of the BBQ would be possible without his BBQ and time on the grill
  • The Prickett family and their firefighter buddies – who donated their raffle money right back to PRCP
  • Our auction committee who worked all week packing, organizing, and sorting – lots of hours put in by those parents
  • The prep crew, who baked, heated, sliced, and served in triple digit heat
  • Everyone who contributed to the Bake Sale for doing such a fantastic job making everything look yummy

And let’s hear it for our Fundraising Coordinator, Wendy Woodard, who now knows every deal to be had, what a chaffing dish is, and how many people it takes to cook bread and beans in a really small kitchen!

We also want to thank all of our generous sponsors whose donated items made the silent auction & “Buy It Now” such a huge success. We couldn’t have done it without them:
