On January 23, 2015 the Kentucky State BBQ Festival Foundation, Inc. Committee presented a check in the amount of $28,593.30 to Heart of Kentucky United Way. This represents the amount of money raised by the Festival and Festival-sponsored events and donated to Heart of Kentucky United Way from the 2014 BBQ Festival, held in Danville, KY from Sept. 5-7, 2014.

The Festival was a smashing success, building on a legacy of making a better and better Festival each year.
