In this Community Spotlight edition of the Group Chat Podcast, hosts Casey Gisclair, Damien St. Pierre, and Nick Hebert shift gears from sports banter to local impact, launching a new segment dedicated to highlighting the people and organizations working to make their community a better place to live.

🎯 Mission of the Spotlight Segment:
The hosts emphasize the importance of giving a platform to volunteers, fundraisers, and community leaders—creating a space to help promote their causes and rally local support.

💪 Spotlight Guest: Brad Wells
Brad joins the show to talk about the South Lafourche Quarterback Club’s Bourbon Raffle, which raises money to send offensive and defensive linemen to the prestigious Louisiana Lineman Camp hosted at Nicholls State University.

🍾 Bourbon Raffle Details:

• Grand Prize: One winner takes home all four rare bourbons – Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace, and Weller Special Reserve.

• Tickets: $10 each

• Deadline: Drawing takes place May 1st

• Purchase: Find the link on Facebook via the South Lafourche Quarterback Club or hosts’ personal pages (Damien, Casey, Nick). No fees, just optional tips to the platform (Zeffy).

📚 Why It Matters:

• Goal is to send at least 10 linemen to the top-tier development camp.

• Camp includes exposure to college coaches, NFL veterans, and elite training.

• Cost is $475 per camper, so every ticket helps get local student-athletes the opportunities they deserve.

• Brad highlights the importance of developing “the big guys” who often get overlooked but are critical to team success.

📣 Support Beyond the Raffle:

• Community members can join the Quarterback Club through one-time memberships:

  • $25, $50, or $100 tiers

• Additional fundraising includes game-night 50/50 raffles and local sponsorships

• Shoutout to Mimo’s Restaurant for donating meals for QB Club meetings

💬 Final Takeaways:

• “You can’t win if you’re not good up front.”

• The Quarterback Club is investing in the foundation of the program—developing linemen who don’t always get the spotlight, but always do the work.

• Buying a raffle ticket doesn’t just enter you to win premium bourbon—it helps local kids grow, compete, and dream bigger.
