Experience the impact of the 2026 RiteCare BBQ & Outdoors Classic. From fellowship and competition to the moments that matter most, this full recap highlights how communities across Georgia came together to support RiteCare and help children find their voice.
Good food. Great fellowship. Life-changing impact.
2026 Set the Standard
In February 2026, the RiteCare BBQ & Outdoors Classic demonstrated what is possible when community, purpose, and leadership come together. The event raised more than $65,000 to help sustain RiteCare clinics serving children and families across Georgia.
Hundreds gathered for a day of fellowship, competition, and shared commitment—proving that this event is more than a tradition in the making. It is a growing force for charitable impact.
Why It Matters
The Scottish Rite in Georgia supports RiteCare clinics that provide speech-language therapy services to children across our state. These services help children communicate clearly, build confidence, and succeed in school and in life.
Every dollar raised, every ticket purchased, and every moment of participation directly strengthens this mission—expanding access to care and creating life-changing outcomes for children and families.
“In giving a child the power to speak, we unlock the promise of their whole life.”
