Set for March 22-23, 2013, Hogs for the Cause is an annual finger-lickin’ fundraising festival featuring a pork BBQ cook-off and plenty of live music. The purpose is to provide aid and relief of those variable expenses and economic burdens which families face while their child is being treated for pediatric brain cancer. Currently, Hogs For The Cause operates as the premier funding source for pediatric brain cancer outreach services in the United States and has given grants to over 40 families in need.

Gates open to the public at 4 pm. At 6 pm, five of New Orleans’ top bartenders will begin serving the five Hogtail finalists. At 6:30 pm the Southern Asado gets under way with Champagne, Cocktails, and a Raw Bar under the stately Oaks of City Park. The party continues with live music on the main stage beginning at 7:30 pm.
