We're thrilled to invite you to our 40th Annual
Festival, happening on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. This year's festival will feature a fantastic lineup of music, including Zydeco, Country, Texas Rock, and timeless Oldies but Goodies.

Since its inception in 1985, the Crawfish Festival has been the cornerstone fundraiser for Boys' Haven. We invite you to join us for a day filled with delicious food, vibrant music, and unforgettable entertainment.

For over 80 years, Boys' Haven has been a pillar in Southeast Texas, providing essential services to boys in need. We support young men from our local community and across the entire state of Texas. Our Journey House program offers young men the chance to better themselves in a supervised residential setting and become successful independent adults. Our enduring legacy is made possible by the generosity of the Beaumont and Southeast Texas community. With the continued support from our sponsors and community members, this legacy will thrive, allowing many more young men to receive the services they desperately need.

In today's challenging environment, charitable organizations like ours face numerous funding obstacles. This event remains a crucial part of our mission to build a brighter future for the boys of today. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our past sponsors for their loyal support. We appreciate each and every one of you.
​
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors, Staff of Boys’ Haven, and the Residents of the Journey House Program

Thank you YMBL 

Thank you YMBL South Texas State Fair for another memorable Cantastic Sunday. We couldn't ask for better weather yesterday. It may have been a little breezy, but overcast is much better than the hot Texas sun. It was an incredible sight to see everyone in SETX coming together to support local with their can donations. Thank you to all of our friends and volunteers who supported us at the Coca-cola tent. We can't wait to see yall at our Media Party on April 18th to promote our 39th Annual Crawfish Festival on May 11th.

Community Outreach

Boys’ Haven was chartered in 1945, as a non- profit residential home, for boys in need of nurturing & inspiration.  Through the years, you, our community, have helped us to provide a safe haven, rich in a tradition of caring, meeting both the spiritual & emotional needs of boys, while providing a secure & enriching environment… a place to call home! ​

Want to learn more about what we do? Check out our campus by scheduling a tour with Nicole at nicole@boyshaven.com.
