Dear Friends,

 

Please join us tomorrow, Saturday, July 9, 2011 for Shoppers' Stockman & Dakota Celebrity Grill-Off Showdown at the Potomac Yard Center, located at 3801 Jefferson Davis Highway, Alexandria, VA. Shoppers Food will host a Family Day event at the Stockman & Dakota Corral to benefit local charities. Britt McHenry, sports reporter for ABC7/WJLA-TV and News Channel 8, selected The Fishing School as her charity of choice for the chance to win TFS a $5,000 donation!
And we need your support...

The Fishing School would like to thank Britt for her continued support and community engagement. Britt also emceed our 2010 Annual fundraiser at the Nationals Park.

 

At the event, Britt will participate in a fun grill-off competition against other guest celebrities, showing off her skills. When Britt wins, The Fishing School will receive a $5,000 donation! The second-and-third-place celebrities will receive a $2,500 donation for their charities. We're going for the gold! It will take your vote and everyone in your circle to help Britt bring home the cash prize! As an audience member you will be able to sample and vote for your favorite celebrity-prepared steak. Come out and enjoy this cookout for a cause. 

Invite all your local family and friends for great food, cowboy-themed games and participate in hourly drawings for Shoppers gift cards. The event is free of charge.
