JJ's Hog Roast for Hospice

JJ's Hog Roast for Hospice What began as a celebration of JJ’s life, cut short at age 28 from an accidental death, has evolved into a CELEBRATION with a CAUSE!!!

JJ's Hog Roast for Hospice is an event held on Pelican Lake with a goal to raise money and awareness for Hospice. All proceeds from this event are donated to Hospice of Red River Valley. JJ lived his life to its fullest! He was known for his kind heart and lively spirit! He could be counted on for a good time! JJ enjoyed listening and dancing to various music genres, and partying with friends and

family. When they were having a good time JJ was having a good time!! That is why we are honored to provide live entertainment, car show, and hog roast dinner to help celebrate JJ’s hospitable, and enthusiastic personality. His family wanted something good to come from his death and to memorialize his name in a special way that reminded them of JJ’s fun loving personality. Not only does this event carry on JJ’s legacy but benefits those who have yet to cope with loss through death. Hospice of the Red River Valley has supported JJ’s family on numerous occasions as we’ve navigated through this imminent stage of life & is a natural partnership for this charity event.

Yesterday, we were invited to the Fargo Elks #260 on North Broadway for what we thought was just a quick visit—but it turned into a wonderful surprise. During their members’ meeting, as part of their community support initiative, they presented us with another generous donation. Elks State President Mitch Ostlie honored us with a check for $500 in support of HIA Hospice. We are deeply grateful for their continued kindness and commitment to our mission.

A huge thank you to for keeping the young ones busy and smiling all day last Saturday! I don’t think I ever saw the bounce house empty—but I did see a whole lot of happy faces. It was wonderful to see so many of you bring your kids to enjoy the day’s festivities. I hope they’ll remember all the fun and the reason behind it—supporting the incredible care provided by HIA Hospice.

Northern Radiator was thrilled to join forces with the Roamer's 4-Wheel Drive Lions Club to bring you JJ's 2025 ATV/UTV Mud Drag Races, an electrifying highlight of Saturday's events that help raise awareness and donations for HIA Hospice! This dynamic duo is all about driving positive change and making this year’s Hog Roast an unforgettable experience.

Not only do the Roamers handle the mud race, they also provide the majority of the volunteers who help bring JJ’s Hog Roast to life every year. From setup to teardown and everything in between, they help keep the day running smoothly. It’s because of their dedication and hard work that JJ’s has grown into the incredible event it is today. Let’s give the Roamers a well-deserved round of applause!
