For decades, Womack has been a corporate sponsor of our annual signature event, supporting initiatives such as the Intensive Care Unit and Child Life Program. Through their annual charity golf tournament, the company was a lead contributor in building the Children’s Hospital and in the annual Children’s Miracle Network programming.

Spotlight: Benny's Car Wash

As a family-owned organization, one that is voted Greater Baton Rouge Business Report’s Best Place to Work in the Capital Region every year, Benny’s Car Wash actively engages their employees in the family value of giving back to the community. The Haunted Car Wash that supports Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital is just one example. Since 2021, this annual event has raised over $108,000. For one weekend in October, Benny’s employees dress up to give kids, and adults alike, a little fright as they go through the wash. Benny’s makes their place scary to raise funds in support of making our Children’s Hospital a little less scary for our young patients! 

Employee engagement is closely tied with organizational performance. These opportunities help build company culture and foster employees’ relationships with each other. Our Lady of the Lake provides meaningful opportunities for your company to connect employees with a cause that can change the future for our community.

• Empower employees to make a tangible impact by establishing a workplace giving program.
• Encourage employees to make philanthropy a priority by matching their personal giving with company dollars.
