Home for the Holidays

For 18 years, Acadian Home Builders has teamed up with local architects to build homes and raise money for local charities.

The grassroots fundraiser has generated more than $2.2 million for four local charities.

Acadiana raised $190,000 for four local charities who help our citizens facing several challenges.

"What's raised in Acadiana, stays in Acadiana."

The money collected through this project raises tens of thousands of dollars donated to important local charities.

It's radiothon time at KPEL and we are doing our part today, asking members of our generous Acadiana listening community to once again open your hearts and wallets, and give to an organization that is truly worthy of your support.

Today is that special day once again where KPEL turns over its studio to a more than worthy cause.
