Our story

Twenty-four years ago this past January, our community lost three good friends in a fatal car accident. Among them was Kelley Wilson, an alumnus of Rockhurst High School ’92. The Kelley Wilson Memorial BBQ Competition (KWBBQ) was created to memorialize Kelley’s life, have FUN, and raise funds for his scholarship fund which is granted to a young man in financial need, who otherwise could not afford to attend Rockhurst High School. Our 2022 marks the 11^th annual Kelley Wilson Memorial BBQ Competition.
