Pinkerton's Gives Back

Barbecue has always been about feeding people. We use ours to feed communities, fund the fight against childhood cancer, and back the next generation of Texans.

Hogs For The Cause

Each year, our competition team Glazed and Confused fires up the pits at Hogs for the Cause in New Orleans, one of the country's largest charity barbecue events. Together, the event has raised more than $15 million for families fighting pediatric brain cancer.

Every plate we serve and every dollar we raise goes straight to the kids and families facing the deadliest childhood cancer. It is the cause closest to our pit, and the one we show up for year after year.

Where It Started

Lamar FFA

Long before the championships, Grant ran with Future Farmers of America at Lamar High School. That is where the work ethic and the love of Texas tradition took hold, in the show barns and the early mornings.

We have not forgotten it. Supporting FFA and the students coming up behind us is how we honor where this all started, and how we help raise the next generation of Texans who care about the land, the craft, and their community.

A Note on Giving

How We Give

Our giving is focused and personal. We commit our time and our support to a small group of causes and partners we believe in deeply, year after year. That said, we are always open to hearing about the good work happening in our communities. If your organization is doing something worth a look, we would love to hear about it.
