Happy Memorial Day!

WOW. What a day.

We just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out and supported our very first Craws for the Cause at Destrehan Plantation. From the cook teams, sponsors, volunteers, musicians, car show participants, and every single person who bought a ticket and came hungry…y’all made this thing incredibly special.

Because of this community’s support, we were able to raise over $16,000 net of all expenses for Hogs For The Cause to directly support families and children battling pediatric brain cancer. That impact is bigger than any trophy or competition result.

For our first-ever crawfish festival and cookoff, we learned a lot along the way, but the overwhelming positive feedback and support made all the hard work worth it. The atmosphere all day long was unbelievable and the teams absolutely showed out.

Huge thank you to our major supporters who helped make this event possible:

* Destrehan Plantation
* Joe's Septic Contractor
* St. Charles Parish Hospital
* St Charles Parish Sheriff

We’re excited to officially announce that Craws for the Cause will be BACK on April 3rd next year at Destrehan Plantation — and Ryan Foret and Foret Tradition has already agreed to come run it back with us again.

We’re going to start early, grow this thing even bigger, and continue building something special for an incredible cause.

Thank y’all again for the support. We can’t wait to do it all over again next year.
