About The IOU Foundation at BBQ Austin
This event raises funds for the Rodeo Austin Scholarship Fund. In addition to seeking volunteers to help us cook, serve, entertain, and assist guests during the two days and nights of fundraising, we are also looking for volunteers to assist us with loading in and constructing our tent before the event. And then, also deconstruction and load out after the event.
We accept volunteer inquiries in advance and establish a day/time shift work schedule based on everyone's availability. Although several of us choose to, volunteers are NOT required to work the entire event. We want you to enjoy the festivities of the event as well.
