Team Pig Latin is a team founded by Ochsner physicians, many of whom care for pediatric patients with brain cancer — making this mission deeply personal. Now in its 8th year at Hogs for the Cause, Team Pig Latin has been a leader in fundraising and was the first team to introduce Eat Fit-approved dishes to the festival, paving the way for others to follow.
