(Press Release) West Palm Beach, FL (July 12, 2024)--Hanley Foundation, Florida’s largest provider of grant-funded prevention programs to combat addiction, will host the 2nd Annual Bartle BBQ Hang, a skateboard and BBQ event, on August 24 at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach. The Bartle BBQ Hang was conceived by the Bartle family, their close friends, and SandyJames Fine Food and Productions, in honor of Cory Bartle, a 34-year-old skateboarding enthusiast and rising culinary star, who tragically lost his life from an accidental fentanyl overdose in October 2022.
 
“We were so moved last year by all of the support and participation from our friends in the skateboarding and culinary communities,” said James Bartle, event chair and co-founder of SandyJames Fine Food and Productions. “This cause is near and dear to our hearts, and we can’t wait to host this again!”
