How the BDM Community Helped Raise $25,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana This Summer

This past summer, Acadiana showed up for its kids. Through the Make Every Summer Moment Matter campaign, Broussard, David & Moroux matched every community donation dollar for dollar, and together we raised $25,000 for Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana. Here is what that campaign was, how it worked, and why it mattered to us.

What Make Every Summer Moment Matter Was Built to Do

Summer can be one of the most uncertain stretches of the year for working families in Acadiana. When school is out, the routines that keep children engaged, safe, and fed disappear overnight. Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana fills that gap. Their programs give local kids a place to go, people who believe in them, and structured opportunities to grow during the months when that support is hardest to find. When they asked the community to help sustain those programs through summer, we said yes without hesitation.

How the Dollar-for-Dollar Match Worked

The structure of the campaign was simple. For every dollar a community member donated, BDM matched it. A $50 gift became $100. A $500 gift became $1,000. Every person who gave saw their contribution doubled before it ever reached the organization. That kind of leverage matters when you are trying to fund a full summer of programming for hundreds of children across the region. By the time the campaign closed, the community had given enough to produce a $25,000 total impact, split evenly between what our neighbors contributed and what we matched alongside them.

What $25,000 Supports Inside Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana

Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana runs after-school and summer programs focused on academic success, healthy habits, and character development. The clubs serve children who need the most support, families navigating real financial pressure, kids who do not have the option of expensive summer camps or enrichment programs. The $25,000 raised through this campaign goes directly toward keeping those doors open, those staff members paid, and those programs running through the months when demand peaks and resources are hardest to stretch.

Why BDM Believes in This Kind of Partnership

At BDM, we spend every day fighting for people who have been hurt, overlooked, or left without a voice. That work lives in the courtroom, but the same value drives what we do in the community. We believe in showing up for people who cannot always advocate for themselves. When we see an organization like Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana doing that work with kids every single day, the decision to partner with them is not a close call. It reflects exactly who we are and what we believe.

We are also grateful that Acadiana responded the way it did. People donated, shared the campaign, and helped spread the word. That is the community we are proud to be part of, and the kind of investment in the next generation that makes this region worth fighting for.

A Lafayette Law Firm Rooted in Acadiana

BDM has been headquartered in Lafayette since 2003. We have offices in Covington and New Orleans, but this is home. The families we represent in catastrophic injury cases, the community organizations we support, the people who walk into our offices on some of the hardest days of their lives, they are all part of the same Acadiana that came together this summer for local kids. Community is not a strategy for us. It is the reason we do the work the way we do.

Thank you to every person who gave, shared, or spread the word about the Make Every Summer Moment Matter campaign. You made something real happen for children across Acadiana this summer. We are honored to have stood alongside you.
