Welcome to the Redstick CARES Crawfish Cookoff, our most exciting and delicious fundraiser of the year! This event brings together the best crawfish boilers from the Greater Baton Rouge area, each showcasing their coveted crawfish recipes, all for a great cause. We invite you to join us in making 2026’s Cookoff a resounding success! 

 

Our organization, Redstick C.A.R.E.S., is committed to building a resilient community by improving the community’s behavioral, mental, and social health through human connection. Redstick C.A.R.E.S. offers activities and programs with over 40 happening at their Essen Lane location weekly.

Funds raised from the Redstick C.A.R.E.S. Crawfish Cookoff will go directly to the operating budget of Redstick C.A.R.E.S. to support the programs and activities provided to the community to further our mission. Last year, we were able to touch the lives of thousands of people in the Greater Baton Rouge area through activities, programs, food and clothing pantries, and outreach. One of our most notable achievements is our Exceptional Summer Program for teens and young adults with special needs. It’s the only camp of its kind in our area!
