Colors for a Cause
BayouCon is privileged to work with a great charity this year, Colors for a Cause.
Colors for a Cause hopes to increase awareness of the need for more research, funding, and knowledge about all the forms of cancer that affect our communities. Colors for a Cause ~ Louisiana is a 501c3 non profit organization that helps families from Louisiana as they battle cancer by providing financial assistance for mortgage/rent, utilities, travel expenses for medical treatment, and we also conduct a Christmas Outreach program to help provide these families with funds and/or gifts for the children of the family. We support those that fight every day to win the battles that will lead to victory in the war against cancer. Colors for a Cause takes the equipment that our local heroes use on a daily basis to do their jobs and fight their fight and transforms them into large, mobile reminders of the people that are working hard to fight their fight against cancer every day. Our project vehicles will be dedicated to cancer victims and will be used to support fundraisers for cancer research, individual cancer patients, family support of cancer patients, and to draw awareness of the need for more research, funding and to increase awareness about all forms of cancer. Colors for a Cause will make it our goal to support children first, then women and men as they all fight a courageous battle against cancer. Every ribbon color represents a form of cancer that plagues our homes and communities. Colors for a Cause wants to support every person until we no longer need ribbons and cancer is only a distant memory.
The Louisiana Chapter of Colors for a Cause was founded on a special day in Westlake, La. April 13, 2011 when 10 year old Brennan Daigle brought awareness to his fight against cancer by showing everyone the strength, courage and trust in God to keep fighting this horrible disease. Created by public servants wanting to find a way to serve their community in a more personal way.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
