Baton Rouge Coca Cola recently “Shared a Coke” with each member of the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation staff.

Each can is personalized with the name of the staff member. Pictured behind the staff is the construction site of the new, freestanding Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital.

If you’ve ever attended a fundraising event benefiting Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital, it is likely that you have enjoyed the refreshing taste of one of the globally recognized Coca-Cola brand products.

Baton Rouge Coca-Cola annually supports Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital’s fundraising efforts by providing refreshments at all of the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation events throughout the year.  These substantial in-kind donations help Our Lady of the Lake create fundraising opportunities to further its mission of being a healing and spiritual presence for those most in need, especially children across Louisiana.  Baton Rouge Coca-Cola also avidly supports the building of the new freestanding children’s hospital.

Toby Guidry, Sales Center Manager for Baton Rouge Coca-Cola, an affiliate of the West Region of Coca-Cola Bottling UNITED, recently shared, “Baton Rouge Coca-Cola is proud to support Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital and the resources this new children’s hospital will bring to families in our community.”

John Paul Funes, President and CEO of Our Lady of the Lake Foundation, highlighted the importance of what Coca-Cola’s contributions means to Our Lady of the Lake saying, “The West Region of Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED has been an incredible partner of the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital.  Their team members are passionate about our mission and have volunteered alongside our team to help us in so many ways.  We cannot thank our friends at Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED enough for their amazing support.  They are true partners!”

Baton Rouge Coca-Cola recently showed a gesture of gratitude to the Our Lady of the Lake Foundation staff for leading these fundraising efforts in the Baton Rouge community by “Sharing a Coke” with each Foundation team member.  Each can was personalized with the name of the team member.

The “Share a Coke” campaign has reached billions of people in over 70 countries around the world by giving people the opportunity to enjoy their favorite beverage, personalized with their name or to share it with a person whose name is on the bottle or can.  You can learn more at www.ShareACoke.com.
