Reflecting a restructuring of its philanthropic mechanisms, Cortana Kiwanis has chosen BRYC to be one of its primary beneficiaries for the next three years. Beginning with the 2023 parade, two-thirds of the net proceeds from the 2023-2025 Kiwanis Christmas parades will be divided between BRYC and Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center; the remaining third will benefit other local nonprofits. Potential 2023 sponsors have until November 10 to sign up at christmasinbr.com.

Executive Director Lucas Spielfogel said: “We’re proud and excited to partner with Cortana Kiwanis to deliver a parade that brings joy to our city and elevates BRYC’s and BRCAC’s ability to support local youth.” Catch BRYC’s float (plus a few throws) Saturday, Dec. 9 at 5:30pm.
