There’s never a bad time to raise money
for a good cause. With the winter months
on our heels, and the holidays in full swing,
giving back and lending a helping hand
wherever we can really helps to put us all
in the right state of mind. Being grateful for
what we have, and celebrating life to-
gether, are what the holidays are all about. With 2018 rapidly approaching, now is the
best time to start learning about this event,
which caters to those suffering from can-
cer and multiple myeloma. Multiple
myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells.
The condition raises your plasma cell
count to abnormal levels, which in turn af-
fects your immune system, bones, kidneys,
and even your red blood cell count. The
founder of Crawfish for Cancer, Lt. Colonel
Lorenzo Mayo Crowell of the U.S. Air
Force, was diagnosed with multiple
myeloma and ultimately passed away from
the disease. Crawfish don’t have a true “season,” so the
movement from city to city makes this
event both easy to navigate and hard to
turn away from. Every batch of the deli-
cious crustaceans is boiled up with a blend
of special seasonings, corn, potatoes, and
authentic sausages. You can expect every
bite to be other-worldly, as these boils are
cooked up by the best chefs from all over
Louisiana. When you grab a plate and taste
the mouthwatering recipes, you’ll undoubt-
edly be looking for the opportunity to so-
lidify your spot in the other upcoming boils.
Crawfish for Cancer is a celebratory
event that makes all the sense in the
world to attend. February is National Can-
cer Prevention Month, and March is Mul-
tiple Myeloma Awareness Month, with Planning your attendance in the coming
months has never been easier, as more and

participation for the event. So far, crawfish are
