Paint the Parish Purple Day 2025!

Lafourche Parish President Archie Chaisson has proclaimed today March 28, 2025 as Paint the Parish Purple Day!

Paint the Parish Purple is an activity of the American Cancer Society that promotes cancer awareness, and gives individuals and communities an opportunity to fight back against cancer.

Lafourche Parish is joining other communities worldwide to host the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, which supports their mission of saving lives and creating a world with less cancer and celebrating more birthdays by helping people stay well, get well, and by funding groundbreaking research and fighting back.

The American Cancer Society funded more than $150 million in cancer research last year through money raised in communities across the United States. Due to the forecasted weather for this Saturday organizers have decided to push the Lafourche Relay for Life event to April 12, 2025.
