The Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana got some help from two groups of friends Tuesday.
Both presentations took place at the Jackie Club on Marie Antoinette.
In the first presentation, Dustin Poirier s Good Fight Foundation presented a check for $100,000 to the clubs to be used for tutoring and transportation.
