If you were anywhere near Trinity Groves on the morning of November 13th, you probably caught a whiff of meat being prepared for Meat Fight. Later that afternoon more than 1,000 meat enthusiasts packed The Big Green Warehouse at Trinity Groves to eat meat and drink whiskey and beer. Along the way they raised more than $175,000 to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society!

The mission of Meat Fight is to make the lives of those living with MS brighter - and ultimately, to find a cure for MS. Meat Fight donates 100% of base ticket price (before service fees) directly to the National MS Society and programs that support those living with MS. These programs include the organization’s own, original Meat Fight Meat Bike program, which gives bikes to those living with MS.

Organizers Alice and Michael Laussade have taken Meat Fight from a keg party in their backyard in 2010 and grown it to become an amazing gathering of competitive chefs, whiskey and beer drinkers, and barbecue lovers.
