MISSION BBQ
“ You give. Go above and beyond. Protect our lives, liberty, homes, and community. At MISSION BBQ, we’ re right there with you, helping out with time, service, fundraising, and great food to fuel those extra efforts. Through the generous support of our loyal customers and communities, more than $ 20 million and counting have been donated to national and local charitable organizations. It’ s the right thing to do, and we really believe in these missions.”- MISSION BBQ Giving Back
Officer Zane Coolidge
To honor Fallen Officer Zane Coolidge # 10914, PLEA Charities donated an official Phoenix Police dress jacket and dress hat, which were placed in a shadow box and permanently displayed in the restaurant. Members of Zane’ s family attended the event, where they met with the restaurant’ s General Manager who pledged to reserve a booth for them whenever they visit.
Ahead of Friends and Family Night, I had the opportunity to meet with the MISSION BBQ team, who explained that the event also served as a training opportunity for new employees before their official grand opening on March 25, 2025. I’ m incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and brought their families to enjoy a great meal while supporting our officers. A heartfelt thank you to MISSION BBQ for their generosity, hospitality, and continued dedication to PLEA Charities and the Phoenix Police Department.
