Service
Committed to Community
Femmes Natales is a dedicated service organization with a heart for giving back. Our mission is to make a meaningful impact in the Thibodaux community and we invite you to learn more and support us in that effort.
Each year, our 30 members proudly contribute over 90% of the proceeds from our fundraising events to support local families and organizations in need.
Held each year on the first weekend in October at Peltier Park, the Femmes Natales Runabout is a cherished community race with a purpose.
All proceeds from the event directly support a local recipient facing financial hardship due to medical challenges. It’s our way of rallying around those in need—offering help, hope, and healing through community support.
Join us for a meaningful day of running, walking, and giving back.

Giving Back
As part of our ongoing commitment to the Thibodaux community, we reach out annually to local organizations that share our mission of service and support, such as Gym Dandy, Bayou Country Children’s Museum, Habitat for Humanity, and the Lafourche Animal Shelter, offering volunteer support to help further their efforts.
These partnerships allow us to extend our impact by strengthening programs that serve local families. By working together, we help ensure these vital organizations continue to thrive and make a difference.
