WHAT IS THE TAMPA PIG JIG?
The Tampa Pig Jig is an annual fundraiser event hosted on downtown Tampa’s beautiful waterfront at Curtis Hixon Park, featuring live music, great food, a BBQ competition, drinks and games. The event benefits the NephCure Kidney International, the only non-profit organization committed to supporting research, improving treatment and finding a cure for the debilitating kidney disease, FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) and Nephrotic Syndrome. Over the past 8 years, the Tampa Pig Jig has raised over $4,000,000 with all proceeds benefiting NephCure.
The Tampa Pig Jig was founded by Old Florida Federation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization made up of several local Tampa Bay gentlemen.
In 2008 Tampa native and beloved friend, Will was diagnosed with an aggressive form of FSGS, a rare and debilitating kidney disease which quickly led to total kidney failure. Will suffered from severe symptoms rendering him bedridden and later led to a kidney transplant. While the transplant was at first successful, the disease quickly took hold of the new kidney and Will is now sentenced to life on dialysis until we find a cure. A close-knit group of friends rallied together to create a simple BBQ fundraiser event to raise money for the NephCure Kidney International, the only non-profit organization committed to finding a cure for FSGS and Nephrotic Syndrome. What began as a simple backyard BBQ has grown into the Tampa Pig Jig on the River, an annual waterfront blowout with great bands, delicious food, fun games, and thousands of attendees.
