WE AT RICKS BARBECUE INC PRIDE OURSELVES ON SUPPORTING CAUSES WITHIN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. WHILE WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO BUILDING TIES WITH THE COMMUNITY, WE SIMPLY CANNOT HONOR EVERY REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE THAT IS PRESENTED TO US. IN ORDER TO ACCURATELY AND FAIRLY PROCESS SUCH REQUESTS, WE REQUIRE ALL REQUESTS BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING VIA THE FORM BELOW. UNFORTUNATELY THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS SEEKING SUPPORT WILL ALWAYS EXCEED THE FUNDS AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE. WORTHWHILE PROGRAMS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED SUPPORT REGARDLESS OF MERIT. ALL DONATION REQUESTS MUST BE RECEIVED A MINIMUM OF 21 DAYS/3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE EVENT DATE. ALL REQUESTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE DONATIONS REQUEST COMMITTEE WHO MAY CONTACT YOU FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR CLARIFICATION. IF YOU ARE NOT CONTACTED WITHIN 1 WEEK OF YOUR EVENT THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO HONOR YOUR REQUEST
