Gift of Life-Wild Hog Round Up

Submitted by Albert Nolen on March 25, 2011 - 5:31am

Co-chairs Jim and Tom Broussard are saddling up to save lives at Champagne & Ribs benefiting the Gift of Life Prostate Cancer Program honoring Joe Penland and Walter Umphrey on Tuesday, April 12, at Cowboy Harley-Davidson. A preview party was held this past Tuesday as Wild Hogs Round-Up chairs Beverly and Jerry Nelson organized this event at Madison’s to get folks in the swing of the big jamboree to spur up support for this great cause.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us “that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas,” we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
