2015 Crawfish Mambo Cook-Off & Music Festival On The Lake
The Cove | University of New Orleans

Dear Prospective Crawfish Cook-Off Team,
Three years, 25,000 pounds of crawfish, and 15 local music acts later, Crawfish
Mambo: Cook-off and Music Festival on the Lake is excited to enter our fourth year as
the premier fundraiser of the University of New Orleans International Alumni
Association. We hope that you will join us in extending the reach and impact of one of
Louisiana’s most diverse universities and New Orleans premiere public research
university, the University of New Orleans.
Funds raised from Crawfish Mambo support the Association’s efforts to prepare the
region’s future workforce (your future employees) through professional development
programs such as a dining and social etiquette luncheon, resume review panel
discussions, and future alumni networking events. Your investment in Crawfish Mambo
not only supports the future of the New Orleans workforce, but also provide a great
event that brings more people to the lakefront campus than any other single event
throughout the year.
And while the mission you are supporting is important, there is also a lot of fun to be
had. Just take a look at any of the pictures on our Facebook page. In 2014, over 2,800
people enjoyed crawfish from 30 competitive boiling teams and music from local artists
such as Rebirth Brass Band and the Bucktown All-Stars. With your help, we will surpass
those numbers in 2015!
For more information, please contact Jason Guilbeau, Assistant Director of University of
New Orleans Alumni Affairs by email at [email protected] or by phone at (504)
280-6394.
Sincerely,
Dennis Deboisblanc, Chair
Crawfish Mambo
