Singing, dancing, and a little rain didn’t stop the fun—downtown was full of energy as AGives! joined the Big Buddy Crawfish King Cookoff on Friday, May 1, 2026. Despite the weather, local companies showed up ready to boil, compete, and give back. The event brought together the community for a great cause, with proceeds supporting impactful programs through Big Buddy and Junior Achievement.
From steaming pots of crawfish to lively music and dancing, the spirit of the event never wavered. Volunteers played a huge role in making the day a success, stepping up with enthusiasm and dedication. Their willingness to serve—even in the rain—helped create a memorable experience while supporting meaningful initiatives for local youth.
AGives!, the community outreach arm of Associated Grocers, is dedicated to strengthening the communities it serves through volunteerism, partnerships, and giving back. Events like the Crawfish King Cookoff reflect AG’s core values of community, service, and connection—bringing people together not just to celebrate, but to make a lasting impact where it matters most.
