The Angel Award celebrates “everyday Louisianians” who make extraordinary contributions to improving the health and lives of children across the state. Coach Jackson has helped guide more than 1,500 students to graduation. Each honoree receives a $30,000 grant to direct to a local nonprofit of their choice.
