Competition was fiery as recipes for boiled crawfish, jambalaya, etoufee and cocktail sauce were judged for the bragging rights to be their category’s number one at the recent DPIS Engineering crawfish boil fundraiser called “Pinchin’ Tails for HomeAid Houston.” This annual event raised $20,000 for HomeAid’s mission “to build new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach.”
This is the second year that HomeAid was the beneficiary of this popular event held at DPIS in the Tomball area. Dozens of volunteers organized and ran the crawfish boil that hosted a record 1,000 guests. Entertainment included the band Stringbenders and a special appearance by Austin Allsup, who was among the top 10 winners of The Voice.

We could not think of a better organization to support within our industry.”
