Carriere & Hotstep. Wanting to create an event for the community and at the same time, an event that would “give back”, the band came up with “Cajun Woodstock for St. Jude Children’s Hospital”. Each and every member of our families felt blessed enough for their healthy children and grandchildren, that they wanted to help raise awareness and money to give to those who were not healthy and fighting
this childhood disease. While our first year, a one day benefit, raised $7500, it has become a 2 day festival with 8 bands, food vendors and auctions. It is held the last full April weekend every year. As of our 2015 festival, our 13th year, we have sent St. Jude over $400,000 with the help of our sponsors, the community and our great volunteers! We cannot do this without your help! In addition, we annually visit the Ronald McDonald House in Memphis, TN at the end of every year. We collect and bring donated pantry supplies, toys/goodies for the children and games for them to play. We provide over 52 families a home cooked meal of Gumbo in hopes of bringing a little ”Louisiana Tradition” while they enjoy our festivities and forget even for a moment, their own heartaches. We also collect through the year, can tabs to bring to the house which helps pay the electric bill for the house. We love St. Jude Children’s Hospital and look forward to this heart-warming event every year. Please join us and help give the children of St. Jude a fighting chance at life they deserve. Every penny gives hope to every child! Hope to see you this year!
