A PARTY WITH A PURPOSE
Karnival Krewe de Louisiane
The only krewe of its kind, the purpose of Karnival Krewe de Louisiane (KKdL) is to raise funds for cancer research, cancer education, and indigent cancer patient care in the Baton Rouge area. Originally called the Governor’s Mardi Gras Ball in 1987, Karnival Krewe de Louisiane, was founded by a group of individuals who cared deeply about those faced with cancer and shared a passion for the Mardi Gras tradition.
A LIFETIME OF GIVING
To preserve the benefits of its philanthropic activities, Karnival Krewe de Louisiane is proud to continue to raise money to support the efforts of Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. This relationship is a win-win situation for all concerned, especially those in need of cancer services in our community. To date, the Krewe has helped to raise nearly $6 MILLION!
