Unmasking A Hometown Lifeline - Cooking for a Cure with Laura & Brice

🎙️ Episode: Unmasking Community Impact: Cooking for a Cure in Mississippi County

What if every dollar you gave to fight cancer stayed right here at home? That’s exactly what Cooking for a Cure does.

In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Fletcher, the namesake whose story inspired a movement, and Brice Hicks, the original founder who turned a backyard vision into one of Mississippi County’s most impactful fundraisers.
 
Together, they share how Cooking for a Cure has grown from a small barbecue competition into a two-day event that fuels hope, scholarships, bill assistance, and locally-fulfilled moments of joy for families facing cancer in Mississippi County and the Missouri Bootheel.

🩵 What you’ll hear in this episode:
