We are happy to announce our 2023 charity partner will be Cedar Valley Hospice!

Cedar Valley Hospice has served hundreds of patients and families every year from Buchanan County for over 30 years. From grassroots efforts, Cedar Valley Hospice has grown and developed into a professional health care agency with experts who are committed to providing comprehensive end-of-life care and support services. They continue to meet the unique needs of individuals with advanced-stage illnesses, their families and those who grieve with their staff of over 120 professionals and 350 volunteers.

“Cedar Valley Hospice is so excited to partner with BrewBQ 2023! As a not-for-profit organization we value our community connections and feel this partnership will help us fulfill our mission “To enrich lives with knowledge, respect and compassionate care”, said Suzanne Benda, Development Director of Cedar Valley Hospice. “We are eager to provide additional education with Buchanan County about Cedar Valley Hospice and the important services we offer. Life can be filled with amazing moments – but sometimes we are blindsided by news we don’t want or did not expect to hear. Cedar Valley Hospice is here to help in those unpredictable times, providing the extra support and professional resources your family will need on that difficult journey.”

Independence BrewBQ has always been dedicated to giving back to the communities within Buchanan County through proceeds raised during the annual event. BrewBQ committee member, Pete Gaumer, added, “Over the last 16 years we’ve been able to donate nearly $67,000 to area organizations. We look forward to our partnership with Cedar Valley Hospice for the August 26, 2023 BrewBQ and hope to see all of you there.”
