"Being part of the community is part of who we are at Moe's Original Bar B Que. The whole crew at Tahoe Nordic Nordic Search and Rescue does so much for our neighbors and visitors in a time of need; we are stoked to help out. We will be holding a raffle, silent auction, hosting Mojo Green's funky soul music and serving up our Southern soul food revival for everyone to enjoy at Rockin' for Rescues" said Eric Pilcher, Owner, Moe's Original Bar B Que.
"Our primary mission to conduct fast, safe rescues and educate the public on winter safety is aided significantly by the support of Moe's Original Bar B Que and the Rockin' for Rescues event.

About Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue
The Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue team was conceived in 1976 as a response to the death of a boy lost off the backside of Northstar-At-Tahoe ski area during a blizzard. There was, at the time, no organized backcountry ski team to help search for the boy. Desperate phone calls to some local Nordic skiers produced a search party that eventually located the youth, but only after it was too late. This group of skiers, along with the boy's father, who today still remains on the Nordic team, learned there was an important void to be filled. Thus, the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team was born. 39 years later the all-volunteer non-profit team has rescued over 500 individuals and responded to over 300 calls for help. Based in the North Lake Tahoe/Truckee area, the Team has matured considerably after these many years but the goals remain the same: Conducting fast, safe rescues and educating the public on winter safety.
