Save Sept. 18 as the date for this year’s Barbecue for the Troops fundraiser to benefit the USO of Illinois.

    

Because the Chicago Auto Show is rescheduled for July 15-19, the CATA decided to postpone this year’s USO campaign. The weather in September still should be mild enough to return barbeque gatherings and community events to dealerships.

In nine years, CATA dealerships have raised more than $950,000 for the USO of Illinois.
