Costa Mesa’s Wild Goose Tavern is hosting a luau and pig roast to raise funds for the John Wayne Cancer Foundation from 11 a.m to 6 p.m. Sunday.

The Wild Goose Tavern, which has been open for less than a year, will donate 50% of the event’s sales to the Newport Beach-based foundation, according to a news release.

Members of the foundation will sell merchandise from which 100% of the proceeds will go to the charity. Chef Dave Berg will prepare a pig roast for the Aloha-themed event which will also feature a beer garden and cocktail bar with a selection of tropical drinks on tap.
