For 11 years, 'Cue for a Cause brought our community together for great food, friendly competition, and—most importantly—to help local neighbors facing unexpected hardship.
As Labor Day weekend approaches, as most of you know, we will not be holding 'Cue for a Cause this year. After 11 wonderful years, we made the difficult decision to bring the event to an end.
So, before the weekend that became such a special tradition in Elmhurst arrives in a few weeks, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you. 🥰
Thank you to the volunteers who gave their time, the sponsors who supported us year after year, the teams who fired up their smokers, and everyone who came out to enjoy the event and support EWAN. 💜
Together, we turned a barbecue competition into a lifeline for local families—and created a pretty special Elmhurst tradition along the way.
While 'Cue for a Cause has come to an end, EWAN’s work is far from over. We are still supporting local families going through difficult times, and we look forward to what’s ahead.
THANK YOU, Elmhurst, for 11 incredible years of neighbors helping neighbors. 💜 And stay tuned—there’s more to come!
