Co-Founder and Director of Partnership Development
mike@cheobbq.com / @mikemachargoMike wants to live in a world where everyone takes the time to extend kindness to others, with the hope that the kindness may be paid forward.
For his entire adult life, Mike has been running the CHEO BBQ. It started from the humble roots in his Grandma’s back yard to the premier event that it has evolved to today. It is difficult to think of Mike without thinking about the CHEO BBQ, for the most part they are one and the same.
Mike is proud of what the CHEO BBQ has become and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. He has earned him some impressive recognition along the way.
- Distinguished Volunteer of the Year Award 2008, City of Ottawa
- Community Builder Award 2011, United Way Ottawa
- State Farm Good Neighbour Award 2011, State Farm Ottawa
When Mike is not working as a Inside Sales Representative for Paul Rushforth Real Estate, you can find him training for various 10K running events in the city or enjoying some down time with his family.
Mike’s Motto is famous
“Come and have some fun in the sun, because, Hey! It’s for the kids”

eric@cheobbq.comEric wants to live in a world where every adult has the opportunity to look back at their childhood and think “that was the best time of my life”.
As the Pledging Director he’s been honored and humbled by the generosity of the people of Ottawa. He has witnessed this first hand as the CHEO BBQ participants and volunteers contribute 1000’s of dollars to our pledging effort year over year.
When he’s not working as a Manager for Bell Canada, you can find him at various hockey arenas or baseball diamonds with his wife Jennifer and his children Dylan and Owen.
Eric has been involved with the CHEO BBQ since its inception in 1992. He is incredibly proud to be able to say that he is a founding member of this amazing event. He has been quoted as saying
“Whether you are into sports, volunteering, or just like to have some fun in the sun, the CHEO BBQ has something for you.”
His Motto for raising money for the CHEO BBQ is
“It’s easy, Just Ask”

Jean-Marc Melancon
Director of Finance & Sports
jean-marc@cheobbq.comJean Marc wants to live in a world where every child has the opportunity to truly laugh and be happy.
As the director of sports & registration he has been excited about the growth of the event year after year. He is deeply moved by the number of participants who return every year and he now recognizes and knows on a first name basis.
When he is not at work, you can find Jean Marc volunteering with the Scouts et Guides d’Orleans or on his favorite local golf course or driving range with his son Alexandre.
Jean Marc has been involved with the CHEO BBQ since 2004. It was the year before his first son was born, and he truly learned the value of the CHEO when his son required open heart surgery before he was two months old.
His motto for growing the CHEO BBQ is
“If it is hard, it’s because what you are doing is important”.
