Jon Holland Impact Indee Fund

Independence BrewBQ made a $1,000 donation to the Jon Holland Impact Indee Fund. This endowment fund is in honor of one of BrewBQ’s original members, Jon Holland. Gifts from this fund benefit the Independence area through community betterment programs in Jon’s memory.
