About Us

Easter Seals Louisiana has long been embraced by Gardner & Ronnie Kole. Both Gardner & Ronnie serve on the state board of Easter Seals. Gardner has served as State President and Ronnie as the only two term President of Easter Seals Louisiana. Ronnie has hosted the Easter Seals telethon in New Orleans since 1980.

In 1993, a wonderful idea developed to further support Easter Seals Louisiana. The Koles invited premier chefs from the New Orleans and surrounding areas to their Slidell home located on the bayou.

Now with the assistance from these chefs as well as corporate sponsors, "Jazz on the Bayou" has become a major fund raiser for Easter Seals Louisiana.
