Your Wiggin’Out Board of Directors met this evening to recap the Friday night fundraiser.
We are thrilled to report over $40K was raised this year. That is money that will go right back in to North Louisiana in the hands of men, women and children fighting any type of cancer.
Because of your generosity the board voted a 67% increase in the donation amount per recipient.
THANK YOU to every person or business that made this possible! Together we are making a difference in the lives of those fighting cancer.

Our 15th Anniversary @wigginoutla Gala is going to be FUN and INSPIRING! We can’t wait for you to meet this wonderful lady Friday evening!
Before she ever takes the stage, you should know this:
TABBY TRUXILLO is no stranger to impossible odds-and she has never once let them have the final word.
Her story is not just one of survival. It is a story of courage in the face of uncertainty, of joy in the midst of trials, and of miracles that continue to unfold.
Bash Booth has been a part of Wiggin’Out since we started in 2011. Once again she will be capturing your fun memories of the evening.

Thank you Bash Booth!

Allow us to introduce our emcee for our 15th Anniversary Gala, Liz Swaine.
Liz Swaine is the Business Editor of The Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate, part of a legacy chain of newspapers and digital resources that cover the state that include the Baton Rouge Advocate and the New Orleans Times Picayune.
Journalism has been a large part of her life. She came to NW Louisiana to anchor at KTBS-TV. Some of her news travels took her to Israel, to war games in Germany and to Russia, where she interviewed Vladimir Putin.
She has worked in corporate communications for a refinery group and has seen both sides of politics, not only covering the actions of politicians and elected officials but also working closely with them as Executive Assistant for Shreveport Mayor Keith Hightower and later, Executive Director of the Downtown Development Authority and Downtown Shreveport Development Corporation in Shreveport.
Liz is married to Steve Culp, has four pound-or-found pups, rides motorcycles, is an instrument-rated private pilot, and is always thrilled when she can coax a plant to grow (or at least not kill it).
Partner level sponsors, make plans to attend cocktail hour beginning at 5:30pm.
🍸 First we sip, then we celebrate!
Shake things up before the gala begins on Friday 4.24 to join us in a toast (or 2)! 🥂
