What an incredible evening at the 2026 ASCO Crawfish Boil! 🦞💙
Our hearts are so full after seeing our community come together in such a big way to support Embracing Freedom and The Brandice Drop-In Center. We are truly overwhelmed with gratitude for every person who played a role in making this event possible.
Thank you to our generous donors and sponsors who continue to believe in this mission and invest in the lives of youth in Southeast Texas. Thank you to the ASCO Equipment team for your partnership and dedication. A huge shoutout to ASCO, the Embracing Freedom staff, and volunteers who worked behind the scenes before, during, and after the event. From setup and serving to coordinating details and cleanup, your hard work did not go unnoticed.
A huge thank you to all of our silent auction donors for your generosity, to Ray Long for donating the delicious crawfish, to Giglio Distributing Co. and Del Papa Distributing Company for sponsoring the beer, and to the band for creating such a fun and welcoming atmosphere throughout the evening. Thank you to every business, community partner, and individual who donated, shared our posts, invited others, attended the event, or helped spread the word. Every contribution mattered.
Because of your support, we are able to continue expanding services through The Brandice Drop-In Center, providing resources, safety, support, and hope to youth who have been trafficked or are at risk in our community.
Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and standing beside us in this mission. We could not do this work without you. ♡
