"X" Marks the Spot for 10th Anniversary of Hogs For the Cause

Press Release: Hogs for the Cause is thrilled to announce the 10th anniversary of its annual charity barbeque cook-off and music festival is set for March 23-24, 2018 at the UNO Lakefront Arena Field. Team registration opens today on the Hogs website: hogsforthecause.org. Pulling out all the stops for this year’s event, the organizers are working on a stellar lineup of musical talent, and have added a Craft Beer Hall, in addition to its popular Thursday Night Dinner. “When we began 10 years ago, we never could have imagined how successful Hogs for the Cause would become,” states Becker Hall, Director and Co-Founder of Hogs for the Cause. “For ‘Hogs X’ we want to celebrate all that we have accomplished in 10 years, but more importantly, we want to thank our teams, sponsors, and supporters for helping us spread the word about pediatric brain cancer and raising money to assist those affected by it.”

“Hogs X” welcomes Southern Eagle Distributing as its new beer partner, bringing Budweiser and Bud Light to the event. In addition, Hogs organizers will unveil a Craft Beer Hall, which will feature beers from Port Orleans Brewing Company, Gnarly Barley Brewing Company, Urban South Brewery, Parish Brewing Company, and more. Plans are underway for the Thursday Night Dinner and will be revealed at a later date. “‘Hogs X’ will undoubtedly have something for everyone. We invite families, friends, co-workers to come out and spend the day with us. Enjoy fabulous food, an amazing schedule of music, and fun times just wandering throughout the field, all while supporting a great cause here in New Orleans.”
