Vote for King and Queen Of The Brew

"Each year we host a friendly fundraising competition between 6 community leaders in the weeks leading up to Gulf Brew.

The afternoon of Gulf Brew is the coronation of “King & Queen of the Brew,” the two community leaders who have triumphed in their fundraising competition.

Their efforts directly support AcA’s mission to bring art, theater, and dance education to over 90 public schools across Acadiana. Last year’s King & Queen raised more than $35,000, and we’re aiming even higher for 2024!"
