The Legacy Soirée | New Orleans, Louisiana

Set in the great city of New Orleans, Louisiana, where culture, history, and community converge, the Legacy Soirée is a signature celebration hosted by the Dr. Tyre’ Jenkins Legacy Foundation. This premier gathering will bring together nearly 200 guests from across the United States to honor academic excellence, celebrate student achievement, and uplift the enduring power of legacy.

Rooted in the rich traditions of New Orleans—its music, cuisine, resilience, and sense of togetherness—the Legacy Soirée is more than an event; it is an experience. Together, scholars, educators, leaders, and supporters will come together to recognize the next generation of changemakers, reflect on the impact of mentorship and service, and celebrate the lives and legacies that inspire our work.

The Legacy Soirée stands as a powerful reminder that when community gathers with purpose, excellence is elevated and legacy is honored.
