Overview

Mission

Our mission includes serving our community and beyond by providing voluntary services and raising funds for humanitarian activities. The boucherie and balloon festival is our primary fundraiser to support the Louisiana lions eye foundation and the Louisiana lions camp. This event provides resources which allow us to supply glasses and hearing AIDS to those in need in our community, as well as to send children with respiratory disorders, special needs, juvenile diabetes, and childhood cancer to camp during the summer. Through the support of our community and generous sponsors, we have been able to keep the legacy of the boucherie and balloon festival alive while fulfilling its purpose of helping others in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
