Three Detroit-area Billy Sims BBQ restaurants will hold a water drive to benefit the people of Flint, Michigan. From January 30 through February 6, anyone who brings in a case of water to the restaurant will receive a fresh smoked pulled pork sandwich for only $0.98 cents. The restaurants will donate the water to the United Way for distribution in Flint.

Detroit Lions current and past players will also make appearances at the restaurants during the weeklong water drive.
