Zarda Bar-B-Q believes in giving back to the community we call home – and we’re excited to partner with you!

Zarda values the hard work invested in Kansas City causes, so we’ve made it easy to make Zarda a part of your charity fundraising efforts. That’s why Zarda created “Hickory Smoked Good Deeds” – a program that allows a portion of proceeds from dining at Zarda to be donated as a “give back” to assist in your group’s fundraising efforts.

Zarda will donate 10% of sales from in-house dining, drive-thru business, take-out, and online ordering for the duration of the Give Back event (5 p.m. – 8 p.m.), as well as 100% of any donations your group directly receives during the event night. Give Back nights may be scheduled on Mondays or Tuesdays (excluding holidays). Your overall donation total will depend on your group’s participation in the Give Back night.

To ensure a successful give back night, please follow the guidelines on this page, fill out the form below, and submit it to Zarda no later than 3 weeks prior to your preferred give back night.

 

All of us at Zarda take pride in supporting the community that has supported Zarda Bar-B-Q for nearly 50 years. The dedication, commitment, and hard work of these community partners make KC a better place for all of us. Zarda is honored to help with their missions.

– Terry Hyer, COO of Zarda Bar-B-Q

HICKORY SMOKED GOOD DEEDS:

Zarda “Give Back” Evening Fundraiser Guidelines

What we need from you:

Get the Word Out

Participation in the event is the #1 way to ensure its success, so the engagement of your group and spreading the word is essential. The greater number of members of your group that participate in the give back night, the greater the opportunity for more funds being raised. Participation is the key to holding a successful Give Back night!

Once a date and time are agreed upon, we ask that you begin sharing Give Back night details with everyone in your organization – along with family members, friends, on social media platforms, through email lists, etc. To help with promoting your event, Zarda will provide you with a digital file that can be shared on social media and through email – and/or printed and hand distributed. The more engagement from your organization, the more successful and profitable your Give Back night will be!

Volunteers

On the day of the Give Back night, we ask that you provide a minimum of 4 adult chaperones. Child volunteers & chaperones should arrive at the restaurant 15 minutes prior to the start of the Give Back night.

  • Child volunteers will be asked to clear tables & chairs in the dining room, call out order numbers, getting guests drink refills & to-go boxes, welcoming, thanking, and informing guests about the organization. Child volunteers will be assigned 30 minute shifts.
  • Volunteer’s clothing for the event should be weather appropriate business casual attire. We also suggest that the volunteers dress similarly so guests recognize they are with the organization hosting the Give Back night. For example, spirit wear from a school is great! Other organizations may choose branded polo shirts or just shirts with matching colors. Zarda will provide aprons for volunteers as well.
  • Open-toe footwear is not be permitted. Closed-toe shoes must be worn by all volunteers.
  • Information Table: If space permits, you may bring a small table with information regarding your organization or purpose. Discuss this with your event coordinator prior to the Give Back night.

Our Promise to You:

Your organization will be supplied with all the tools needed to promote and execute a successful Give Back night. If you post the event on your organization’s social media, Zarda Bar-B-Q will be glad to share your group’s social media posts to help drive traffic. However, the majority of the publicity and awareness for your event will need to be provided by your group.

Zarda will donate 10% of sales from in-house dining, drive-thru business, take-out, and online ordering for the duration of the Give Back event, as well as 100% of any direct donations your group receives during the event night. Give Back nights may only be scheduled on Mondays or Tuesdays (excluding holidays) from 5-8pm.
