Mark your calendars for April 2, when the flower show will take place at the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce building in downtown Shreveport from 2 to 5:30 p.m..

On April 2, 2025, the health system will hold a breakfast celebration to honor corporate partners and donors—those wonderful individuals and companies who generously contribute to making a difference in the lives of children. The 2025 fundraising season will also kick off during this celebratory event.

Corporate partners supporting this noble cause include well-known names like Ace Hardware, Albertsons, Dairy Queen, GameStop, and Walmart-Sam’s Clubs, among others. Their commitment to improving pediatric healthcare in the community is truly commendable.
