Roux for a Reason is a beloved gumbo cook-off celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, uniting the Bayou Region in the fight against cancer. Proceeds from the event support a vital nutrition program at Terrebonne General | Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, ensuring every patient has free access to a Registered Dietitian before and during treatment. Proper nutrition plays a critical role in cancer care, and this program helps patients stay nourished, strong, and better prepared to face treatment—giving their bodies the support they need to fight cancer.
