Arbor Hospice is bringing back its signature fundraiser, Barley, BBQ & Beats, for one final call — a one-of-a-kind evening featuring top pit masters, Michigan distilleries, an exclusive auction, and live local music.
The event takes place Thursday, Sept. 11 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Revel Run in Chelsea, featuring standout vendors such as Zingerman’s Roadhouse, Satchel’s BBQ, Ann Arbor Distilling Company, Bier Distillery and more.
In addition to live music from Motor City Josh and indie-folk-rock band The Ragbirds, guests can bid on the Heisman Heroes Football – a collector’s item signed by 24 Heisman Trophy winners – along with other auction items.
Tickets are $65 in advance ($75 day of event). Donations are doubled this year through the “Make it a Double” Matching Gift from the Steve and Amy Van Andel Foundation.
Proceeds benefit Arbor Hospice’s Open Access Program, ensuring compassionate end-of-life care for anyone in need, regardless of age, diagnosis or financial situation
