Jennifer Pareya's support for The Rose spans more than twenty years and it all started with her mom’s breast cancer experience.

Jennifer’s mom, Judy, was diagnosed at The Rose and after beating breast cancer, she insisted on the family giving back. And they’ve done so tenfold.

From fundraisers at the Lighthouse Pub to Bikers Against Breast Cancer, they’ve spent many years advocating on behalf of uninsured women in Texas.

Now, she champions the adult beverage stand at the iconic Shrimp Boil.

But it’s more than that.

Jennifer understands the life-saving importance of mammograms and encourages insured women to schedule their mammograms at The Rose so that uninsured women can be seen as well. It's a simple act that makes a big impact.

Get involved by purchasing tickets or tables. Donate auction items or become an event sponsor. With an 80s theme, this year's Shrimp Boil on June 22nd promises a totally awesome time for a great cause.
