Bolin’ for Braylon

The community turned out in a big way for this year’s “Boilin’ for Braylon” benefit. The event was held on Antique Alley, where attendants enjoyed some of the best crawfish of the season. The mudbugs tasted even better, because they were being boiled for a good cause – to support Braylon Streetman, the four-year-old son of Brittany and Justin Streetman of West Monroe.

Braylon was diagnosed with Dyskeratosis Congenita, an autoimmune disorder and underwent a bone marrow transplant last fall. Money raised at Boilin’ for Braylon will help the Streetman family with the expenses associated with Braylon’s care and bone marrow transplant.
