Since 2000, Krewe of Harambee (KOH) has sought to increase the number of minorities who become involved in Mardi Gras celebrations. Dedicated to various charitable endeavors, Krewe of Harambee aims to raise awareness about conditions such as breast cancer.
The organization regularly hosts the event “Harambee Goes Pink,” which aims to celebrate breast cancer survivors. In 2019, KOH held this event at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, which featured a speech by Dr. Joyce Feagin, a physician who treats patients with cancer and blood disorders.
In addition to supporting causes such as breast cancer, KOH members routinely participate in the “Paint Your Heart Out” initiative. They donate their time to paint and provide repairs to homeowners in need.
