Last year’s event produced winning fish, very happy anglers, and a $10,000 donation to the American Cancer Society and the “Wig Room” at the Lady of the Sea General Hospital located in Galliano. The rodeo’s goal to raise awareness and support for breast cancer was achieved.     Charity This year’s rodeo will again support the Wig Room at the Lady of the Sea Hospital, and also Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at TGMC in Houma and Thibodaux Regional Cancer Center. Our goal is to promote Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention with another donation of $10,000 or more.
