The Second Annual Hogs For The Cause is set for Saturday March 6, 2010. Due to the overwhelming support and concern for last year's recipient, Ben Sarrat Jr., we are going to continue to raise funds to combat pediatric brain cancer. With this year's funding, we plan to establish a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Giloma (DIPG) Support Fund. These proceeds will be awarded to children with DIPG, DIPG Research, and other DIPG related causes. Please see our DIPG page to learn more about this very rare, debilitating disease.
So what's new this year? A lot! This year we will be instituting the State of Louisiana Pork Cookoff. This is a Louisiana State Sealed proclaimed event, signed by Governor Bobby Jindal. It's open to amateurs, seasoned chefs, cavemen, and anyone else who can basically incorporate pork and fire. Sign up for the event and earn your chance to take home Louisiana's porcine bragging rights and its highest honor, the High on the Hog Louisiana Pork Cookoff State Champion trophy and other prizes. Sign up on our Cookoff page and learn more about the event.
Bring the kids! Bring the dog! Finally, please click on our feedback/idea page and let us know what you would want to see at Hogs this year or any great ideas that you think may help. If that includes Rene in a pink Speedo with a painted on mustache, we can make that happen! We're going to try to raise $20,000 this year. Please spread the word and let's make it happen!
