2026 Kookers Kare SmokeFest
On March 14, 2026 several Competition BBQ teams will gather in Sugar Creek’s Mike Onka Community Center to smoke more than 250 racks of ribs. This year’s fund raising effort will help us continue the mission of serving as a beacon of hope to end hunger in the Kansas City Community by providing food assistance through fun, laughter, and a lot of smoke..
Kookers Kare Inc.(501(c)(3)) is a group of charitable volunteers aiding those in need! We provide freshly cooked and non-perishable food to food pantries such as the Harvesters Food Network. We are also an integral part of the Kansas City Barbeque Society.
Our Mission:
To serve as a beacon of hope to end hunger in the Kansas City Community by providing food assistance through fun, laughter, and a lot of smoke.
