About the Buck Barras Memorial Foundation

The foundation was established in 2021 by friends and family of St. Martin Parish native Buck Barras, who tragically passed away.

Through various fundraisers, including their signature Potato Cook-Off in Parks and cornhole tournaments, the organization has been able to donate thousands of dollars in scholarships over the last three years to local high school and college graduates.

Those scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors who have lost a parent.
