NICU family gives back to Women & Infants through restaurant revenue

PROVIDENCE – Ken Rahn, pitmaster and owner of Bringeth the Meat BBQ, is headed to the grill to give back to Women & Infants Hospital. In 2016, Rahn plans to donate each quarter two percent of Bringeth the Meat BBQ’s sales to the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. “[We] owe a debt to the NICU that we can never repay… without the NICU, neither of our children would have survived,” he said.

Rahn and his wife Paige, have two children: Julia, born at 29 weeks and now a thriving 6-year-old and William, born at 27 weeks, now 16 months old. His parents hope that William will outgrow his chronic lug disease that was caused by his prolonged intubation. Both were born prematurely due to preeclampsia, which occurs in six to eight percent of all pregnancies in the United States, usually during the second or third trimester, and can affect the health of the mother and her child.
