We Can Break the Stigma Together!

Since our founding sponsor, Empathic Practice in 2020, we have earned a variety of local community businesses support and official sponsorships for our mission.

We have 42 active members in good standing within our Krewe for the 2025 season. We are categorized as a “small” krewe, however we are mighty!
