Funds obtained from this event and other events throughout the year go to support various causes including improvements to the Loreauville Park and the preparation and delivery of meals to homebound citizens in the Loreauville community for New Years Day.

The Loreauville Community Project’s mission is to support other community minded organizations, families and a great quality of life desired by all. We are determined to support opportunities for the kids of our community, our parish and our neighboring parish with education, playground equipment and athletics in mind.
