What originated as a casual cook-out competition on The Fly (the riverfront green space behind Audubon Zoo) has evolved into a full-blown, highly anticipated annual festival — but Hogs for the Cause, which is happening on Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1, at a new location at the UNO Lakefront Arena grounds has always kept its mission on the front burner: a fundraising event for families of children battling pediatric brain cancer.
As their festival grows each year, founders Rene Louapre and Becker Hall have added more competitive elements, live music, and local celebrity guest appearances, resulting in record-breaking attendance and fundraising. Since its inception, Hogs for the Cause has helped more than 200 families with expenses related to their children’s brain cancer ailments and raised more than $1 million. It has also established a Hogs for the Cause Fund at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans.
Relay For Lifeis the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Relay is staffed and coordinated by volunteers in more than 5,200 communities and 20 countries. Volunteers give of their time and effort because they believe it's time to take action against cancer.
Join us at these events to bring communities together to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors of all cancers, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society make a global impact on cancer. We will post more information when it becomes available.
