Manning Family Children's 2nd Annual Louisiana Legacy

We are pleased to announce plans for the Manning Family Children's 2nd annual Louisiana Legacy event, which will be held Thursday, October 1, at the iconic Orpheum Theater! Co-chaired by Courtney and Ted Le Clercq and Tina and Barry Kern, this unforgettable evening will bring guests together for gourmet food and cocktails, an engaging fireside chat with members of the Manning family and special guests, and exciting live entertainment.
In the coming weeks, we are excited to announce the recipient of the 2026 Louisiana Legacy Award, an award honoring an influential Louisianan whose steadfast commitment has helped improve the health and well-being of children and families across Louisiana.
Last year's inaugural Louisiana Legacy event honored the Manning family and marked our bold new chapter as Manning Family Children’s while raising more than $3 million to support our vital mission. This year, all funds raised will benefit our brand new state-of-the-art 60-bed NICU to provide the highest level of care for Louisiana's littlest.
