The Slidell Heritage Festival has 12 board members. Our board handles all aspects of the festival, from vendors and entertainment to live music and the overall operations of the event.
This year’s chosen charities that will be benefitting from our Fundraising efforts:
The Slidell Police Association:
The Association was formed in 2005 to assist Slidell Police Officers and the City of Slidell citizens by bridging the gap between the police and citizens. The organization holds charity events such as Cook-Offs and Toys from Cops. They also help police officers and their families with tragic events.
Boy Scouts Cypress District:
Scouts BSA is where youth develop outdoor survival skills, self-confidence, and ethics through youth-planned activities with increased attention to service, community engagement, and leadership. The scout slogan is Do a Good Turn Daily. Some of these good turns have included serving at special events honoring veterans and law enforcement or conducting service projects such as beautifying a school, recycling, and rebuilding a nature trail.
Notes for Education Northshore:
Our mission is to support efforts to foster and promote the academic and social development of our youth through music education and the performing arts. We support local music education and/or provide music grants or scholarships to local young musicians. Notes for Education Northshore also awards unwanted/used instruments and equipment to eligible music instruction programs. These items are lightly used, blemished or otherwise imperfect and have been collected from manufacturers, retailers and previous owners.
Truth in Nature:
We are a year-long program that mentors young men in middle and high school with a father absent from the home. They are mentored through meetings and outdoor outings. We take them fishing, camping, hiking, hunting, and kayaking. We teach them survival skills, firearm safety, and more. The goal is to help build self-esteem and develop a good Christian character.
Bayou Lacombe Cardinals
Founded in 2016, the Bayou Lacombe Cardinals began as a way to build something positive and family-friendly in St. Tammany Parish. We believe we have set the standard for what minor league teams do in terms of organization and character.
Our mission statement: The Bayou Lacombe Cardinals provide guidance and opportunities for adult athletes while providing quality entertainment and community outreach for St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, and surrounding areas.
