Every Twin City Knockers home bout features support for a local charity, and this season the Knockers are supporting the local Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA) of Northwest Louisiana. CADA provides education and rehabilitation services to persons of all ages who suffer from alcoholism or other addictive diseases.
Amy “Cherry Lola” Touchette, A Blocker for TCK stated, “The CADA does amazing work for the community, and we’re excited to give them a little something back in return.”
Part of the proceeds for each home bout will go to CADA this season.
