Second Annual Van Hiller Rock and Roll Backyard BBQ
Raising money to support finding a cure for Diabetes.
Welcome to the Second Annual Van Hiller Rock and Roll Backyard BBQ! This year, we are thrilled to bring together the community once again for an unforgettable day of music, food, and fun, all while supporting a cause that impacts millions of lives across the nation. Join us as we raise funds for the American Diabetes Association, whose mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and improve the lives of all people affected by this challenging disease.
Diabetes affects approximately 10% of Americans, making it a leading cause of several severe and life-threatening conditions. By supporting our fundraiser, you are contributing to groundbreaking research and initiatives that could lead to a cure and potentially a vaccine to prevent diabetes in future generations. Your generosity will help the American Diabetes Association advance their important work, as they strive to solve the many mysteries surrounding diabetes, including its causes and effective treatments.
The Van Hiller Rock and Roll BBQ promises a lively day filled with energizing rock and roll tunes, mouth-watering BBQ delights, and the great company of friends and family, all in the heartwarming atmosphere of community spirit and philanthropy. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the fight against diabetes and support those living with this condition every day.
Whether you join us in person or contribute from afar, your participation is deeply valued and appreciated. Let's come together to make this event a resounding success and push closer to a world free of diabetes. Thank you for your support, and we can't wait to see you rock out with us at this year's BBQ!

Thank You for Making the Second Annual Van Hiller Rock and Roll Backyard BBQ a Huge Success!
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed and joined us in person. Thanks to your generosity, we more than tripled our fundraising goal, raising over $3,000 in support of the American Diabetes Association! We are truly humbled by your support.
It was a special day filled with community, celebration, and music. Friends, family, and neighbors came together to enjoy performances from both emerging young artists and seasoned professionals, covering everything from classic rock to soul, funk, and original songs.
As we reflect on this year’s event, we’re already thinking ahead to 2026. We’ve had bands and merchants express interest in next year’s BBQ, and we’re excited to raise the bar even higher.
Mark your calendars — we hope to see you at the Third Annual Van Hiller Rock and Roll Backyard BBQ next summer!
Yours in Rock and Roll,
The Van Hiller Crew
