Introducing the CCKK Shield

The CCKK Captain explains our Shield... Thanks EA!!

Some of you may know that many of the krewes in New Orleans have shields that reflect their organization.  So, we thought it would only be fitting to have one for our krewe.  This shield was designed by our fellow teammate, Brandi Wilson, who is also responsible for our team shirt designs.  Way to go Brandi!

Krewe Shield Break Down:

-The name Casey means Faithful & Brave Warrior, thus we used the latin form of those words, Fidelis & Fortis.  She is truly a faithful and brave warrior in this battle against cancer.

- Per unitatem vis is latin for "through unity, strength." Together we are united in this battle against cancer.  We may not be able to take chemo treatments for Casey, but we can show her that we're on her team and support her.  Komen Austin Race for the Cure is one way we're doing that!

-Palm trees recognize Casey's love for the beach and her roots in the Rio Grande Valley.

-The Sword symbolizes the warrior strength we all possess.

-CCKK recognizes our Krewe initials.

-5 Stars indicate Casey's status at "The General."

So there you have it!
