Garland Farms Estates hosts annual Crawfish Boil Fundraiser benefitting ASP
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Garland Farms Estates hosted its annual Crawfish Boil Fundraiser on Saturday to benefit Appalachia Service Project (ASP). Organizers, self-titled the 'Crawfish Crew', said the event first began as a planned neighbor gathering, where participants pooled funds for a shared crawfish feast. In that first year, residents had $1,000 more than they needed and decided to donate to a local charity. Since then, the feast has turned into an annual fundraiser, where tickets are sold to neighbors and the public, and money raised goes to a selected local charity of the estates' choice. The crew said they donated over $100,000 to Children Exceeding Expectations in Bristol last year. This year marks the 12th year of the Crawfish Boil, and around 1,300 visitors were expected. Vice President of Resource Development for ASP Kate McKinnie said the fundraiser will help put flood-stricken families back into homes. 'We were thrilled to get the call from the organizers of the Garland Farms Crawfish world that they wanted to partner with ASP for this year's event,' she said. 'With the devastation that Hurricane Helene caused. It was devastating. And there are families still not back in their homes. And so Appalachia Service Project, we are committed to rebuilding after Helene, or any weather-related disaster in our service area. So having this partnership is going to allow people to get back in homes.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
