It’s been nearly 20 years since Entergy’s former CEO, the late Wayne Leonard, saw the critical need for businesses to support childhood education programs and organizations.

Look around and you’ll find that much of what we use in our daily lives — like a can of paint, PVC pipe or a computer — is made from building blocks produced by companies here in Louisiana. Entergy Louisiana plays a big role in helping those companies continue to grow.
