In The Community
At the Rendezvous, we dont just serve ribs we serve the community. Over the years weve lent a hand all over town:
- We originated Zoo Rendezvous, which has become the major annual fundraiser for the award-winning Memphis Zoo.
- We created Rendezvous at the Dixon, a major annual fundraiser for the Dixon Gallery and Gardens.
- We co-sponsor the Shaun Micheel Make-A-Wish Golf Tournament (formerly the John Daly Make-A-Wish Golf Tournament), an annual fundraiser for Make-A-Wish of the Mid-South, which has raised nearly $10 million for Make-A-Wish.
- We participate in annual Taste of the Town events in Collierville and Germantown.
- We participate in the Soup Sunday fundraiser for Youth Villages.
- We won an award for renovation and new construction from Memphis Heritage.
- Our founder, Charlie Vergos, was named one of the Downtowners of the Decade in 2001 and is a former head of the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau.
- Charlies son John Vergos served eight years on the Memphis City Council.
