Every plate we serve, every event we host, every dollar you give goes to support families battling pediatric brain cancer — so no parent fights alone.
100% of your support goes directly to families in need.
In 2015, a group of friends who loved barbecue decided their passion could do more than feed a crowd — it could change lives. Today, House of Hogs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that competes, cooks, and rallies an entire community behind one cause.
We build jaw-dropping themed booths, dream up unforgettable menus, and pour every ounce of that energy into helping families facing the unimaginable: a child diagnosed with brain cancer.
Read our full storyBecause our booths, travel, food, and logistics are funded entirely by volunteers and sponsors, 100% of your donation goes to work for families.

Event details
This year we turned the festival into a SpongeBob Bikini Bottom — bubbles, a Krusty Krab booth, and a family activation where kids could play while we served up lobster rolls and award-winning barbecue.
It took home 1st Place Booth Design — but the real prize was the joy it brought families who needed it most.
