Leger & Shaw, Attorneys and Counselors

02/01/2025

Colleagues and friends,

I am chairing a special event featuring my friend, Terry Bradshaw, at the Louisiana Cancer Research Center on the Friday night before the Super Bowl, February 7, 2025 from 5 to 7. SEE ATTACHMENT!

It is a fundraiser promoting "men's health," for a change. But I'm not asking you to contribute. I am asking you to attend if you can. There will be a lot of New Orleans, Louisiana and national leaders present.

Fighting cancer has been both personal and a cause to me:
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, “Man of the Year,” 2021
Cancer Crusaders, Survivor of the Year, 2017
Co-Chairman, Key to the Cure /Louisiana Cancer Research Center Drive, 2011
“Breath of Life Award” American Cancer Society, 2003
Louisiana Cancer Research Center, Board of Trustees, 2017-Present
LSU Health Science Center Foundation, 2001 - Present; Board Emeritus, Past Board and
Executive Committee
Tulane Cancer Center Advisory Council, 2001 - Present
LSU Stanley Scott Cancer Center Advisory Board, 2001-
Now THREE time cancer survivor

But, it has become really personal to me again, having just gone through surgery to remove a recurrence of cancer. (apparently completely successful). I’ve had great doctors, great surgeons, and we want to promote the cause through the Cancer Association of Louisiana, along with Zatarain’s and the Al Copeland Foundation.

PLEASE ATTEND IF YOU CAN. LET ME KNOW FOR A HEADCOUNT.

AGAIN YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE. I'VE COVERED THAT.

Also, You youngsters, please get regular COLONOSCOPIES and other early screening.

Walter J. Leger, Jr.
