Join us in Supporting a Beloved Community Tradition
The DuPont BBQ Cookoff is more than just a barbecue competition—it’s a high-energy community event that draws over 5,000 attendees each year to DuPont, WA. Now in its 8th year, this event has become a staple in the South Puget Sound region, attracting families, food lovers, and BBQ enthusiasts from near and far.
More Than Just Exposure—It’s a Statement of Support The DuPont BBQ Cookoff is organized by The American Legion and veteran volunteers, making sponsorship a direct way to support our veterans and their contributions to our country. By sponsoring, you’re not just promoting your brand—you’re aligning with a cause that resonates deeply with the community.
