The Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights protects the rights of children in the juvenile legal system. We defend them in courtrooms, support them in schools, and provide them with the resources they need to grow up healthy and leave the system behind for good.
Join us on Thursday, March 23 (6-8pm) for this cocktail reception as we celebrate our successes and come together to make Louisiana a better place for all children.
We will also be presenting our Calogero Champion of Justice Award to Louisiana State Senator Royce Duplessis for his tremendous impact on youth justice in the state legislature.
This event will be held at “The Building,” a beautiful gallery and performance space on historic OC Haley Blvd. Business or business casual attire preferred.
While there is no ticket cost, a donation of any amount is required to attend. Donate now via Venmo, Paypal, or LCCR’s donation page.
