The Krewe's mission is to positively assist individuals whose lives are impacted by mental illness. We support groups and organizations dedicated to assisting the mentally ill, and have forged an alliance with NAMI (Natl Alliance for Mental Illness). Board members have participated in other functions in the community with similar goals on behalf of the Krewe. We also encourage members to contribute available resources and energy toward the same endeavors.
