Gather your beads, bring your krewe, and float on in to ELEVATE, United Way’s fourth annual celebration recognizing young professionals who exemplify leadership, embody philanthropy, and demonstrate ingenuity to support our community.

Enjoy festive parades, fatten up on King cakes and beignets, groove to the sounds of New Orleans’ style jazz, and bid on your favorite items in a special live auction. Best of all, see who is crowned as our community’s Best Volunteer, Volunteer Leader, Nonprofit Employee, Community Ambassador, Employee Resource Group, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advocate.

As we continue to rebound and recover from the health and economic impacts of the pandemic, join us to toast our community’s next generation of leaders while raising money to support United Way’s Basic Needs Fund.
