LRPA Contributes to Haitain Relief
February 10, 2010 —
The Louisiana River Pilots Association recently made a very generous donation to the Haitian Relief Effort. LRPA is funded with dues from all of the individual pilots in the four state pilot associations, The Crescent River Port Pilots Association, The Associated Branch Pilots of the Port of New Orleans, The New Orleans – Baton Rouge Steamship Pilots Association, and The Lake Charles Pilots Association. The active pilot count currently stands at 264 pilots.
LRPA has been a generous benefactor to many deserving charities over the years of our existence, including, but not limited to annual gifts to The American Red Cross, The New Heights Therapeutic Riding Center, Habitat for Humanity, and many others. Additionally, the individual pilot associations have established their own foundations and annual charity event sponsorships in an effort to benefit those in need. The constant media coverage related to the horrible devastation in Haiti has spurred an unprecedented tide of generosity from donors all over the world.
