“Asking for help is not easy, but I have learned that sometimes strength comes from allowing others to walk alongside you. If you would consider becoming a living donor or sharing my story with others, it would mean more than words can express.” - Everett Johnson

For decades, Everett Johnson has been a dedicated advocate for North Carolina’s pork industry, supporting farmers and strengthening communities across our state.

Today, Everett needs our help. He is in need of a living kidney donor, and through the National Kidney Registry's paired donation program, you don't have to be a direct match to make a life-saving difference.
Please take a moment to learn more, consider becoming a donor, or simply share his story. The right donor could be just one share away.

Nearly 30 years ago, the Hurricanes' pig mascot was created to give the team a connection to North Carolina's pork heritage.

Today, that same pig is celebrating a Stanley Cup.

Congratulations, Canes!! 🏒🐷

Our intern, Natalie Perry, recently had the opportunity to attend the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, where she gained valuable firsthand experience in the pork industry.
During the week, Natalie participated in the Collegiate and Industry Professionals Breakfast, assisted with the Young Pork Advocates Issues Meet, attended industry meetings, and explored the latest innovations on the expo floor. She also had the chance to connect with fellow young professionals and industry leaders from across the country.
Experiences like these provide invaluable opportunities for young professionals to expand their knowledge, build industry connections, and gain a deeper understanding of the people and innovations driving pork production forward.
We’re proud to support Natalie as she continues to learn, grow, and represent NC Pork.
