Each year Friends of LPB honors outstanding Louisiana citizens who have distinguished themselves in a variety of disciplines including writing, art, entertainment, politics, public service and athletics. This year’s honorees include retired NFL quarterback and Super Bowl champion Terry Bradshaw; retired president of the United Negro College Fund and former Congressman William H. Gray; community leader and philanthropist Joy Nalty Hodges; former Dean of Legislature House of Representatives member and Father of the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts Jimmy D. Long; former senior editor of the Wall Street Journal and acclaimed author Ken Wells. The gala serves as a fundraiser for Friends of LPB with proceeds going to support the quality programming and educational services provided by LPB. The event will be held at the elegant Old State Capitol in downtown Baton Rouge. The evening begins with a champagne reception, a fabulous buffet dinner with silent auction viewing throughout the evening featuring some unique and wonderful items donated by the 2009 Honorees themselves and by Louisiana businesses. The awards ceremony begins at 8:00 p.m. with a champagne and dessert reception following. |
