About Us

Mental Health Our Cause

Since our founding in 2019, Crawfish for a Cause has donated over $80,000 to local mental health organizations.

The core of our mission comes from the organizations we choose to donate to. All of our dollars go to local organizations with low overhead in order to maximize how much impact they have. Our events revolve around community, food, music, and mental health awareness, and our goal is to impact the lives of others through not just the donations we make but the events we put on.
