We are a group of women and men who unite every year for the fight against breast cancer. The founder, Stephanie Stewart, has seen the face of breast cancer with her own family. Her mother, 3 aunts, and 2 cousins have been hit by that ugly C word. Driven by watching her own mother go through chemo and recovery, she and her amazing friends and family, continue to help local charities. The community has always come through in times of need. Who doesn’t want another excuse to party in New Orleans? Especially, to benefit a local charity!
