Why Sponsor

Your sponsorship places your organization at the heart of Louisiana’s most diverse gathering of the year – an evening where the families we serve, volunteers, faith communities, businesses, and civic leaders all share one table. Sponsors receive recognition before, during, and after the banquet, with benefits based on sponsorship level, while directly supporting services that help new Americans build stable, thriving lives in Louisiana.
