Why do we do this? BBQ, the bourbon, music, a good time with good people.. sure!

But behind every plate served, every drink poured, every ticket purchased, and every sponsor who says “we’re in” - is something so much bigger. It’s about people!

Everything we do here at Lafourche Arc is ultimately about creating opportunities, building independence, and making life better for the individuals with disabilities that we proudly serve in our community. That’s why BBQ & Bourbon on the Bayou matters, and that’s why YOU matter. Know that when you support this event, you’re supporting PEOPLE and helping to create a community where EVERYONE has the opportunity to belong, participate, and thrive.

That’s the reason we do what we do. And we couldn’t do it without you. 💙
