Ribfest
2008
August 7-9
Come hungry, leave satisfied...
Ribfest is Community Advocate’s major
fundraising event. Thanks to the support of the people who
attended and the businesses that sponsored, $50,000 was raised
for programs that are targeted to improve the quality of life
for all, but especially to improve the quality of life for
our community individuals with developmental disabilities.
In fact, Ribfest has raised over $835,000 for programs that
stay right here in our community helping people who live in
your neighborhoods, work at your place of employment, and
maybe go to school with your kids.
Ribfest is scheduled for August 7-9, 2008
at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place in Downtown Kalamazoo.
Plans are just starting for the 2008 event and there are many
ways that you can stay connected to our event and even help
