We're Building Something This Year.
In 2026, every dollar raised at the 12 Bridges Rib Cook-Off goes toward building a basketball court for the men and youth at Teen Challenge in Lincoln, CA — a residential recovery program dedicated to helping people find freedom from addiction and trauma.
A court gives them community. Structure. Something to compete for. Something to celebrate. It's a place where recovery looks a little more like living.
Come for the ribs. Stay for the cause. Leave knowing you helped build something that lasts.

To those that are making it happen
