Hogs For the Cause

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 11 am. The first musical act begins at 11:30 am. At 12 pm, public sampling begins as the 80 BBQ teams compete to see who can raise the most money. At 1 pm judging gets underway in the four main categories: Whole Hog, Butt/Shoulder, Porkpourri, and Ribs. At 6 pm, its trophy time and we will welcome our headliner to the stage at 7:30 pm.
