Relay for Life
Our controller, Connie Boudreaux is on the Relay for Life team in St. John the Baptist Parish. Relay for Life, the American Cancer Society's signature event, is held annually to raise money to fight cancer, raise awareness about cancer, celebrate the victory of those who beat the disease and pay tribute to those who did not.

Strides for Breast Cancer

A group of All Star Electric employees have combined their personal donations to Strides for Breast Cancer along with a company donation and will walk together at the annual event every October in Metairie, LA. They represent the company by wearing All Star visors.

When Todd Trosclair, CEO of All Star Electric, found out what the ladies were doing, he offered to make a company match to the personal donations that had already been collected. The Pink Stars will be out again next year and plan to start early with their donation drive.

During the month of October, thousands of Americans across the country join together to share their passion for ending breast cancer and to give hope to those facing it. Raising awareness of the disease is one of the main goals of the American Cancer Society. On October 11, 2008, the ACS hosted their annual “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk in Metairie, LA. All Star Electric, Inc. joined the thousands of supporters early Saturday morning on Lakeshore Drive for a beautiful stroll along Lake Ponchatrain. The 3.1 mile walk was a non-competitive event that raised over $80,000.
