United Way Campaign leaders named

Representatives from St. Charles Parish Government, Louisiana Disability Law, and Creative Family Solutions are serving as chairmen for the 2016 United Way of St. Charles Fall Campaign. This year’s co-­chairs are Anthony Ayo of St. Charles Parish Government, Loyd J. Bourgeois Jr. of Louisiana Disability Law, and Eric Dishongh of Creative Family Solutions.

“As someone raising a family and working here in St. Charles Parish, supporting our community is very important to me and I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve as a co-­‐chair of the 2016 United Way Campaign,” said Bourgeois, Luling Disability and Personal Injury Attorney.

“I started working in the public sector because it was a great way for me to serve my community while growing my career. It is gratifying to see the fruits of your labor impact people in a positive way. What better way to add to that mission than to serve as Campaign co-­‐chair for the United Way of St. Charles,” said

Ayo, executive director of Technology and Communications. “It’s a pleasure to serve an organization that supports 27 local agencies and serves more than 40,000 people each year. I have witnessed the United Way’s impact on families first hand.”

Dishough added, “Some have termed St. Charles Parish the ‘parish of plenty’, and while that is certainly true, the United Way helps to ensure that all residents of our community have access to essential programs and services that not only will benefit families in need but our community as a whole.”

The campaign officially kicks off with the 2016 Battle for the Paddle Gumbo & Jambalaya Cook-­‐off on Oct.  6 from 3  to 7:30 p.m. The popular event is held at the West Bank Bridge Park in Luling and is open to the public.
