Despite the inclement weather, our 2nd annual Kids & Clays event was a huge FUNdraiser on Jefferson Island! The day featured rounds of sporting clays on a lush Acadiana oasis backdrop, raffles, delicious food, fellowship, and so much more!

To welcome all of our dedicated sponsors, patrons, and board to Acadiana, we co-hosted a cocktail reception on Thursday, February 29th. The libations and local fare were impeccable at the gorgeous Avery Island home of Joey & Buzzy Brown.

Oh, what a night!

Our 2nd Annual Patron Party on Avery Island was simply stunning!
