Community Foundation of Acadiana sets luncheon to recognize give

The sixth annual Community Foundation of Acadiana’s Leaders in Philanthropy Awards Luncheon will be held on Nov. 11 at the Cajundome Convention Center. Doors will open at 11 a.m. and the program will be from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m.
CFA will present eight parish awards to individuals and couples from across its service area who have made a philanthropic impact in their communities through substantial charitable contributions to or by securing contributions for nonprofits, churches or schools.
Two corporate awards will also be presented to companies that have made a philanthropic impact through contributions to nonprofits, churches or schools, in at least one of the eight parishes of CFA’s primary service area. This award seeks to recognize a historically philanthropic company regardless of size of company or community.
“Please mark your calendars for the Leaders in Philanthropy Awards Luncheon, and join us in recognizing outstanding individuals and companies, from across Acadiana, for their generosity”, said CFA President and CEO Raymond J. Hébert.
The purpose of CFA’s Leaders in Philanthropy Awards Luncheon is to honor outstanding area philanthropists, increase awareness of the value of philanthropy and to educate the public about CFA and its mission across its eight-parish service area. Luncheon tickets will go on sale this fall.
Nominations for the Leaders in Philanthropy Awards were received from the public and final selections were made by CFA’s Board of Directors Emeriti.
Award recipients will be formally announced this fall.
