The Louisiana Serve Commission (Office of Lt. Governor) and the nonprofit organization Operation Blessing International invite everyone to participate in a charity Fun Run in downtown Baton Rouge on Sunday, October 3, 2010. [Click here to register.]

The event benefits Louisiana's crab fisherman and their families by funding a unique program that supplies locally manufactured crab shedding systems. These systems, which cost approximately $2,000 each, allow fishermen to maintain hard-shell crabs until they shed, more than doubling their market price. The added value of soft-shelled crabs can increase a family’s annual income by approximately $14,000.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to the program, which is operated by Operation Blessing International in partnership with the LSU AgCenter/Louisiana Sea Grant Program and the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board.
