Perry Hall Mission BBQ's grand opening this month supported the Baltimore County Police Department with a special fundraiser. A check was presented to police on Wednesday. 

The restaurant released the following statement and above photo: 

It was an honor for owners William Kraus and Stephen Newton to present a check to Police Chief James W. Johnson on Wednesday November 28, 2012. The funds were raised at Mission BBQ in a charity event held prior to the opening of the store.

At Mission BBQ it's our mission to serve those who serve. We believe in thanking our police, fire, military and first responders for what they do everyday. We are proud to be new members of the Perry Hall Community.

The restaurant also raised funds for the Baltimore County Fire Department, and has ongoing drives and promotions that support the Wounded Warrior Project.
