Barbecue Benefit this Saturday

One of the most well regarded food establishments in the area, Carolina Smoke doesn't just make great barbecue - they also give back to the community in the form of charitable giving. 

Last summer, one of the restaurant's workers, David Hayward suffered a heart attack and nearly passed away. But staff at the cardiac care unit at Evergreen Hospital were able to return him to good health. So in return, this Saturday, June 14 from 11 AM to 8 PM, Carolina Smoke will be hosting a "Rib Day" to benefit the hospital and all their hardworking employees. 

Mr. Hayward and team will be smoking four different types of ribs, beef ribs, baby back ribs, spare ribs, and beef short ribs, all served on a platter with two sides. And all proceeds will go to the Evergreen Hospital Cardiac Care Unit, along with those that come into the donation jar, which they'll have on hand. Local blues band, The Chester Dennis Jones Band, will also be on hand from 1 PM to 5 PM.

Over at the restaurants website, Mr. Hayward shared his heartfelt thoughts about the folks who saved his life. He writes:

I want to thank my family and friends, Evergreen Hospital and the staff that took such good care of me, and the medics who came to my house and their excellent care.  I am very blessed to still be here.

I want to give back to the folks who have given me this second chance, Evergreen hospital. So, on June 14th from 11am-8pm Carolina Smoke will have a Rib Day to benefit Evergreen Hospital. On Rib Day I will not only be smoking up my babyback ribs, but I will also be smoking up some spare ribs and beef ribs. I will be donating the profits for the day to Evergreen Hospital as well as providing a jar to donate. I have also asked my good friend, Chester Dennis Jones to come play some blues for everyone (thanks Chet!). So please come out and help support Evergreen Hospital, I owe them my life.
