Figured I would post some of the info for Hogs for the Cause because I haven't seen it on the board yet.
Hogs For the Cause website
The event will take place on March 6, at the Audubon Fly, on the river in Uptown. From the website:
Weather looks like it's going to be excellent, and it's for a great cause. Should be a good time.

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!

See everyone out there! We'll be cooking, so come say hi, and taste our que. We'll be selling sauce and ALL proceeds will benefit this great cause.

The turn out was great, the weather was beautiful and the food was awesome. But most importantly, much money was raised for a great cause!

I met Nikinik and Uncle Lee Bird...the BBQ was good. Not a fan of the blue cheese slaw (But I dont like blue cheese or slaw in general)

The Hogs for the Cause event was a HUGE success and a great time was had by all. Our open faced BBQ pulled pork topped with blue cheese cilantro cole slaw was a huge hit!
Thanks to everyone who came out! Uncle Lee Bird and I were SWAMPED and barely had time to talk, but it made our day to see our friends and family there supporting us! Team Moo Zing raised almost $400 and the entire event raised $20k to help pediatric brain cancer research! Rene and Becker LINK really worked hard and did a great job.
Our team didn't place in the cook off...but that wasn't a testament to our food. You got points for your food and it combined with your points for fundraising...which I didn't agree with, especially since it was a state championship cook-off. Our food score was very high...I think either a 34 or 36 out of 40. But we can't compete with large hotels and restaurants in the area of fundraising. First place was Lucy's...with a food score of 25.
I'm hoping next year that they'll make them into two separate awards. A team whose food scored that low shouldn't have won a state championship cook-off.
But all in all it was so wonderful to see people come together for the event and for the cause.
Next stop for us....Freret Street Festival March 27th. Hope to see you there!
