The Green Hat Charity Fun Run/Walk/Crawl/Drive, the COVID Edition benefits Women’s Birthing Services at Christus Ochsner Lake Area Hospital. The deadline to purchase a ticket for the 2021 Toyota RAV4 raffle is March 30, 2021.

“Last year, we eagerly anticipated our third annual Green Hat Fun Run/Walk/ Crawl and Cook-off Event; however, due to COVID-19, our efforts were postponed,” said Cheyanna Glyenn, Children’s Miracle Network and Events Director, Christus Ochsner Southwestern Louisiana Foundation. “With the new norm of social distancing and masking, we are excited to host the third annual Green Hat Fun Run/Walk/Crawl/Drive, the COVID Edition.”

Participants can purchase a raffle ticket for the RAV4 through March 30 for $50. A Green hat entry is not required.

To culminate the 2021 Green Hat events, a raffle will be held and one lucky winner will drive away in the 2021 RAV4 donated by Lake Charles Toyota.

Participants must be 21 or older. For those who previously registered in 2020, the entry fee is waived. Winners need not be present to win. The cost of a raffle ticket is not eligible for a tax-deduction gift. Winner is responsible for payment of taxes prior to delivery of automobile.

“The continued support of the community with this event is appreciated and so important to the Women’s Birthing Services at Christus Ochsner Lake Area Hospital because babies are born every day. The proceeds of the event will help fund advanced fetal monitoring units that provide accurate monitoring of babies while allowing the mother to ambulate. This monitor allows for fetal heartbeat monitoring at 28 weeks gestation, whereas a typical monitor does not allow for such early heartbeat monitoring,” said Kay C. Barnett, CFRE, executive director of development, Christus Ochsner Southwestern Louisiana Foundation.

The Foundation and Christus Ochsner Lake Area Hospital staff are grateful for the support sponsors: Sweet Lake Land and Oil Company, LLC, KPLC, Citgo, American Press, Triad – The Newtron Group, Louisiana Mortgage Associates, Digikast, JD Bank, Tim & Jordan Haman, Stockwell, Sievert, Viccellio, Clements & Shaddock, L.L.P., P.S. Promotions, B1 Bank, Lamar Advertising, Champeaux Evans Hotard Architects, and Lake Charles Toyota for donating the 2021 Toyota RAV4 for the Green Hat Raffle.
