For the past decade, inRegister has recognized some of the Baton Rouge area’s most fearless and philanthropic females through our “Women with a Cause” feature. Often working behind the scenes and never asking for credit for themselves, these individuals step up to support local nonprofits and stand up for those in need. They do it all because of a tug on their hearts, a little voice telling them that they can make a difference.

We are proud to recognize this year’s roster of “Women with a Cause” honorees, women who didn’t even let a pandemic stop them from doing good for our community.
