Community Impact Award
The 2024 NOAGE Community Impact Awards winners are Jeffrey Mayeux, Vanessa Carr Kennedy, and Paribe Meyer. These amazing individuals, in their roles as grand marshals of the Southern Decadence Parade, have hosted dozens of fundraiser events in 2024, and all funds raised (after parade expenses) benefit both NOAGE and the cost of replacing the UpStairs Lounge memorial plaque. They have made an incredible impact on the local LGBTQ+ community, and we appreciate them very much.
