🎙️ 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.
Â
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:
📍 Event Details:
👉 Why it matters: Cooking for a Cure is a standalone local nonprofit—not tied to national organizations. That means every dollar raised goes straight back to cancer patients and families in our own community.
✨ Links & Resources:

Â
Because neighbors helping neighbors—that’s who we are.
