On May 7, a barbecue cookoff was held at Al's Sports Bar on Westheimer to benefit A Simple Thread. It was a first ever event of this kind for A Simple Thread. More than $3000 was raised and lots of kit items were donated. It was a spectacular success and we appreciate everyone who made it possible, including:
 
Al's Sports Bar -- thank you, Al Roemershauser!

Attorney Jared Ynigez

Shell TEC
And most of all -- Lisa Martens for organizing the event and making it happen!
