Our mission is to raise funds to support local children's causes while fostering community in a celebration of two of North Carolina's cultural assets: barbecue and bluegrass.

Each year 100% of the proceeds from food and beverage sales, Fast Passes, The Pit merch, and the Silent Auction sales, at 'Cuegrass are donated to our chosen beneficiaries for that year.

Over the years, 'Cuegrass has raised over $250,000 and helped 11 different organizations including: BackPack Buddies, SAFEchild, Cub Scouts, Team Chris Combs, Food Banks of CENC, 4-H Club, NC Farmers via AWA, WC Breeze Family Farm, Read & Feed, Feed the Farm, and The Occoneechee Council of Boy Scouts of America.

Our beneficiaries this year are: SAFEchild, The Occoneechee Council of Boy Scouts of America, Freedom Ride Rescue, and Broughton Capital Foundation
