In 2021, the Grillers Cup raised $10,000 for Help 4 Kids & Backpack Buddies. Backpack Buddies is an Horry County non-profit that works to help eliminate child hunger in the community. The organization supplies participating schools with nutritious, self-serve food to feed children when not at school.
