Mission: Good Smoke

A heartwarming event dedicated to providing moments of rest and relaxation to patients, visitors, doctors, nurses, and staff at veterans hospitals.

New mission for 2024

Our mission is to spread comfort and joy through the art of BBQ, incorporating cherished, passed-down-through-generations tactics to prepare an exceptional meal. At this event, we proudly serve free smoked and bar-b-que meat, sandwiches, sides, and refreshing beverages, creating a delightful experience for all. Mission: Good Smoke is more than a meal; it’s a ministry that honors our brave veterans and extends gratitude to those who care for them.

“When I first arrived in Recruiting Station Cleveland there was nothing significant we could offer Marines as a unique reward for their demanding duty. Along came Lazy Lab Hunting Club who identified the sacrifices Marines and their families make by finding the next generation of warfighters among the streets of Cleveland and Detroit. Through multiple chartered fishing trips and hunting expeditions, they have given the Marines an escape and experience to feel appreciated and valued. Our Marines have thoroughly enjoyed every second and are extremely thankful for the support from the foundation. We look forward to years of partnership with Lazy Lab Hunting Club and can’t thank them enough for their support.”
