August 1st|BBQ Competition & Community Fundraiser
In Loving Memory of Our Fallen Brother, Ryan Dintleman
PARTNER WITH M2TU
Our July 31st and August 1st event was an incredible triumph, bringing the community together for a world-class show of skill and heart. By honoring Ryan Dintleman’s spirit through fierce BBQ competition, we set a new standard for pitmasters across the region.
Building on this momentum, we invite you to be a part of our second annual celebration on August 7th. Join us as a sponsor to help fuel this mission, support local families, and keep a powerful legacy alive. Let’s make the next one even bigger.
We are doing this to celebrate Ryan Dintleman, a powerhouse journeyman wireman and a brother to the core. Ryan lost his life while doing what he did best, helping a friend with a home project.
To honor his legacy of service, this IBEW collaboration will benefit:
• EWMC Coats 4 Kids
• IBEW Local 1 Relief Fund
• Mental health awareness initiatives and outreach programs like STL Building Trades Wellness Coalition
