Lillie’s Q Chef and Founder, Charlie McKenna created BarbeCure as a means to raise funds for cancer research and positively impact families and communities affected by cancer. BarbeCure raises funds through events, specialty product sales and donations. Funds raised are donated to the McKenna family’s foundation, the Katherine McKenna Brother’s Scholarship Fund as well as a rotating charity. Our April event will raise funds for the KMB Fund and the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation. About the KMB Scholarship Fund Lillie’s Q Founder and Chef, Charlie McKenna, lost his aunt Katherine to breast cancer in 2000. The McKenna family founded the Katherine McKenna Brothers Scholarship Fund in Katherine’s honor and the Fund keeps her legacy alive by providing women full-ride scholarships to Katherine’s undergraduate alma mater, Brenau University in Gainseville, Georgia. To date, the fund has supported more than 19 women at Brenau University. About the Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation The Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation’s mission is to raise funds for research and education to prevent breast cancer and improve outcomes for individuals with breast cancer. Investments are directed locally within the Chicago area but drive impact globally. The Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Foundation is one of the nation’s leading breast cancer research and education non-profits. Since the beginning, when Lynn’s dear friends and family established a foundation with a vow to cure this devastating disease, until now, we are dedicated to eradicating breast cancer.
