Pediatric Brain Cancer Fundraiser
Lard And In Charge
Lard and In Charge
Lard and In Charge, a Louisiana non-profit and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, is competing once again at the 2024 Hogs for the Cause barbecue competition on April 5th and 6th to raise money for the fight against pediatric brain cancer and to support affected families. So far, Hogs for the Cause has donated over $5.6 million dollars, and Lard and In Charge has raised almost $100,000.
We founded Lard and in Charge back in 2016 as a group of young professionals and amateur barbequers to have fun and raise money for a good cause. In the years since, we’ve upped our barbeque game, winning the inaugural Nueske’s Bacon Night for our deep-fried, bacon-wrapped plantain and being declared the 2021 High-on-the-Hog Grand Champions. Our story has been told in The Gambit, Eater, and on a live Fox8 News cooking demo, with one local news outlet describing our success this way:
"In a field of teams consisting of 30 to 50 members, the Lards got it
done with less than a dozen dedicated barbecue warriors. ‘The Lards
were crowned Grand Champions over a field of teams that included
renowned chefs like Tory McPhail and the some of the city’s top BBQ
joints, such as Blue Oak BBQ and Crescent City BBQ. While most
teams have thousands of dollars in equipment and professional cook
teams, the Lards were crowned Grand Champs with a team of three
home BBQ cooks, two Camp Chef pellet smokers and some BBQ
loving warriors."

Not only does cancer take an enormous toll on the mental and physical health of the patients and its family members – it also has a tremendous financial impact. The costs associated with childhood cancer make it a struggle for families to get by and meet their needs while also being able to get their child to lifesaving treatment. For families already living in poverty, these difficulties are often multiplied.
