The Krewe of Tucks was founded in 1969 by a group of Loyola University students. The club took its name from Friar Tuck’s, an Uptown bar. The Tucks Charitable Foundation was founded in 2017. The ALS Association, Children’s Hospital and Magnolia Community Services are just some of the major benefactors of the Tucks Foundation and have been integral in every event planned since the foundation was established. Over $100,000 has been raised by the Tucks Foundation for various charities across the Gulf South.
