MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - Myrtle Beach's Lakewood Camping Resort is planning to host its sixth annual Griller’s Cup on Sept. 27 and 28, sanctioned by the South Carolina Barbecue Association (SCBA). The cook-off will once again benefit the local nonprofit Backpack Buddies of Horry County, with all proceeds being handed over to the organization.
Blayne Perry, Co-Owner of Lakewood Camping Resort, said in a press release: “For the past 5 years, we have held our annual Griller’s Cup BBQ cook-off to help raise money for Backpack Buddies of Horry County. The Griller’s Cup is one of our favorite ways to bring our community together for fun and philanthropy, and we are proud to say that every single dollar raised will go directly to Backpack Buddies, ensuring that the kids of Horry County are not going to school hungry or without proper clothing, shoes or school supplies. In 2018, we raised over $24,000 at this event and we hope to top that this year!” Entry to the event is free and open to the public. Tasting tickets are $1 and will be available to purchase onsite.
