Crunch Time Hero® of the Week Returns

PorkRinds.com, a leading platform for pork rind enthusiasts, along with Rudolph Foods, is excited to announce the comeback of their cherished initiative, the "Crunch Time Hero® of the Week." This program, now in its fourth season, shines a spotlight on college football players who exhibit extraordinary performances while promoting awareness and support for pediatric brain cancer.

Recognizing Excellence and Making a Difference

The Crunch Time Hero® program runs weekly throughout the college football season, recognizing standout athletes based on their impactful performances. Each honoree receives a special prize package, including pork rinds to share with teammates, and an exclusive interview with sports personality Peighton Tubre on Instagram (@eatporkrinds).

At the culmination of the season, the player with the most shares on their interview video will be honored as the 2026 Crunch Time Hero® of the Year, earning a VIP invitation to represent PorkRinds.com at Radio Row during the Super Bowl week in 2027. This not only celebrates their athleticism but also raises critical funds for a noble cause.

Supporting Families Affected by Pediatric Brain Cancer

A vital aspect of this program is its commitment to the Archer Foundation, which aids families grappling with the challenges of pediatric brain cancer, specifically DIPG/DMG. For every share of a player's interview post, Rudolph Foods pledges to donate $3 to this important organization, reinforcing the mission to support these families during their toughest battles. Each video will be available for shares and votes within a two-week window, allowing fans to contribute and engage, thereby magnifying the impact.

Mark Singleton, vice president of sales and marketing at Rudolph Foods, emphasized the importance of the program, stating, “Crunch Time is all about stepping up when it matters most. This initiative recognizes the athletes who make defining plays while providing an avenue for fans to support families facing one of the toughest battles imaginable.”

Exciting New Flavors

In celebration of the initiative and the college football season, Southern Recipe Small Batch, a brand under the Rudolph Foods umbrella, is launching three exciting new pork rind flavors: Air Fried Buffalo Wing, Air Fried Pizza, and Pimento Cheese cooked in lard. Notably, the Air Fried Pizza flavor pays tribute to the Archer Foundation’s namesake, Archer Hill, who tragically lost his life to DIPG at the tender age of six. Pizza was one of Archer’s favorite foods, making this flavor particularly special.
