Event Host Spotlight: Crawfish for Cancer
Crawfish for Cancer (CFC Inc.) was founded by James Crowell, whose father, Lieutenant Colonel Lorenzo Mayo Crowell, USAF, Retired, passed away as a result of multiple myeloma in March 2014. Fellow Williams College alumni and cofounders Peter Vecchio, Michael Graham and Scott Johnson helped James launch CFC in 2008.
Their idea was to provide events that cater to young professionals and engage a new generation of philanthropists. The goal was to raise awareness and funds for multiple myeloma research. CFC has grown from one event held each May in New York City to six events across the country in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Charleston, D.C., Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco. Hundreds of pounds of Louisiana crawfish are served along with beer, wine and signature cocktails, with live music throughout the day.
