We believe that an integral part of a community’s wellbeing is an attitude and arena where people who do good things - who work to improve life for others - who try to make a difference - are recognized and saluted.
Because this is a salute to members of the community of the entire River Parishes, we solicit your recommendations for groups or individuals to be considered for inclusion.

Yes, we realize this helps the company generate more business, but it also helps generate more money for the receiving organization.
• The RIVER PARISH TORNADOS, on winning the fourth annual Octavio “Ox” Gonzalez Memorial Baseball Tournament. Gonzalez, a captain with the St. John Parish Sheriff’s Department, was ambushed and killed in the line of duty in June 2006..
