SWLA Bar Association OktoBARfest Gumbo and Chili Cook Off

Members of the Southwest Louisiana Bar:

The SWLA Bar Association Young Lawyers Section will host OktoBARfest Gumbo and Chili Cook Off on October 29, 2022, beginning at 11 AM at Crying Eagle Brewing Company.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Holiday Helping Hands program.

Holiday Helping Hands is an outstanding philanthropic program that serves our community and is centered on providing Christmas gifts to impoverished children. Various schools in the area identify qualifying children for the event, and our Bar purchases gifts according to a wish list prepared by each child and their parents. The gift purchases are largely funded by the SWLA Bar through OktoBARfest participation fees or private donations.

For more information, please get in touch with the SWLBA at 337-497-0090 or exoir@swlabar.com
