It’s for the Kids!
The event is hosted by adults who spent some or all of their childhoods at Epworth. For 121 years, Epworth alumni have transitioned from children from a disrupted childhood to become independent and successful adults. Epworth alumni include business leaders, ministers, decorated military veterans and a wide spectrum of everyday successful citizens. Through the “Cookout for Kids” the alumni return to the Epworth campus to give back to the place that helped raise them and provide for the next generation of children. In addition to raising funds, the alumni make sure that every child at Epworth get a free BBQ meal and can enjoy the day as well!
