Thank you to our Sommelier Sponsors of Tasting on the Terrace!

In 2025, the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC), a Division of Family & Youth, served 672 child victims of sexual or severe physical abuse by providing critical services, counseling, and advocacy, at no cost to families.

Because of their support, children have a safe place to share their story, begin healing, and know the abuse is at an end. Your generosity ensures that Family & Youth can continue its mission of providing professional support, advocacy, and education for the people of Southwest Louisiana and the communities we serve.
