Join the Community Foundation Southwest Louisiana for An Evening with Willie Mount, an intimate conversation celebrating a lifetime of leadership, service, and philanthropy.

In a fireside chat moderated by Community Foundation Board Chair, Clair Hebert Marceaux, Willie will reflect on the people, places, and moments that helped shape Southwest Louisiana. From the grassroots effort to save Central School to breaking barriers as Lake Charles' first female mayor, her story is one of civic engagement, resilience, and a deep commitment to community.

Hosted in the Ben Mount Auditorium, named in honor of Willie's late husband and fellow community advocate, this special evening will also explore the lasting impact of charitable giving and how thoughtful philanthropy can create a legacy that benefits future generations.

Whether you're passionate about local history, inspired by public service, or interested in creating your own lasting impact, this conversation promises an evening of insight, inspiration, and meaningful connection.
