An evening given in her honor.
Mary's Hands Network is honored to welcome you to our very first In Her Honor Awards Gala: A Legacy in Lavender.
The In Her Honor Awards Gala is an evening dedicated to the mothers at the heart of our work, and to the community leaders, partners, and volunteers advancing maternal and infant health across Louisiana. Together, we celebrate their impact and the families whose lives have been changed.
Proceeds from the evening benefit Mary's Hands Network, sustaining the volunteer doula care we provide to families at no cost so that no mother faces birth alone. Your presence honors the women we serve and helps extend that care to many more.
When we extend Mary's hands further, they can reach more women, more families, and more communities, into the light of service, compassion, and support.
An evening of celebration, connection, and impact.
Join us for dinner, an open bar, entertainment, and an awards program honoring the people and partners advancing maternal and infant health in Louisiana.
