We hope for a cure for cancer in our lifetime.  We seek to celebrate life and support our community especially those whose lives have been touched by cancer, with an emphasis on breast cancer.  We encourage survivors of all cancers, and supporters, to become involved in the sport of dragon boating.

Cajun Invasion was founded by Neppie Trahan and her husband Freddy.

Neppie is a cancer survivor who was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in 1996. While working as a buyer for a Lafayette department store, Neppie became friends with Betty Ann Vader, a representative from French Dressing Jeans who had lost her mother to breast cancer. For years French Dressing had been a big supporter of breast cancer research in Canada and Betty Ann was their spokesperson at breast cancer events across North America.
