About this event
Tampa Bay’s premier philanthropic festival, the Tampa Pig Jig, returns to Julian B. Lane Park on Saturday, October 18, with a powerhouse lineup headlined by country breakout star Megan Moroney. The 14th annual event will also feature double Grammy® nominees Midland, singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson, Americana favorites Jamestown Revival, and one of Country’s rising voices, George Pippen. Presented by RIPA, Valley Bank, and The Baldwin Group, this award-winning event brings together world-class live music, delicious food, games, a silent auction, and family-friendly fun — all in support of families facing serious medical challenges.
What began as a backyard BBQ fundraiser for a friend diagnosed with a rare kidney disease has grown into one of Tampa’s most impactful charitable events. Since its inception, the Tampa Pig Jig has raised over $9 million, becoming NephCure’s largest annual donor and helping launch more than 60 clinical trials for rare, protein-spilling kidney diseases like FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) and Nephrotic Syndrome.
Now in its fourteenth year, the HopeWill Foundation, which hosts the Pig Jig, is expanding its reach. While continuing to champion NephCure’s mission, the event will now also support local nonprofit partners that serve individuals and families navigating life-altering medical diagnoses, furthering a mission rooted in hope, community, and care.
