ABOUT THE
Tucks Charitable Foundation
The Tucks Charitable Foundation was Founded in 2017 by Parade Captain Lloyd Frischhertz and Dracos Morvant.
Their vision of greater service to the Krewe Of Tucks Family and overall membership base was what inspired them to act. In addition to assisting and aiding the Tucks members when in need, the New Orleans Community and those individuals who are less fortunate are at the heart and soul of the Foundation.
Children's Hospital, Krewe De Camp and Magnolia Community Services are 3 of the Major Benefactors of the Foundation and have been integral in every event planned since the Foundation's inception.
Over $100,000 has been raised by the Foundation for various charities across the Gulf South.
The Foundation regularly hosts volunteer events across the city for its members, friends and family to join and participate. Recently, the Foundation sent over 40 volunteers to Second Harvest Food bank of New Orleans and donated $5,000 to their mission of fighting hunger during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

20.6 million Americans live with some form of ambulatory disability, requiring a mobility device.
Many of these people face an isolated world with few social interactions, health complications, a higher risk of suicide, a shorter life expectancy and few places to turn to.
