What is “Piggies For The Cause”?

It is a community-wide, fundraising initiative designed as a crash course in successful fundraising, which educates kids on the importance of giving back to their communities, particularly children in need. These learned skills will be translatable to their future entrepreneurial endeavors.

All proceeds raised by Piggies for the Cause go directly to funding the Hogs House to be built in Baton Rouge.

What is Hogs For The Cause?

Hogs for the Cause (“Hogs”) is the national leading provider of outreach services for pediatric brain cancer in the United States.

Hogs gives the most money directly to families who have children diagnosed with brain cancer in the entire U.S.

What is a “Hogs House”?

A Hogs House is a free place for families to stay while their child receives treatment at the hospital.

The Hogs House at OLOL Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge will consist of 12 family suites and be located on the hospital’s campus, which means the families are never more than a few minutes away from their child.
