During the February 10th Parish Council Meeting, Councilman Daniel Lorraine presented Madyson Cutrer with the Lafourche Parish Outstanding Citizen Award! Madyson was awarded for her incredible compassion, leadership, and determination in supporting her teacher, who is battling cancer. Without being asked, Madyson took it upon herself to organize a large-scale fundraising effort entirely on her own. For 3 straight weeks, she personally drove from business to business seeking donations, speaking with confidence and sincerity about the cause. Her persistence and courage were remarkable, especially for someone so young. In addition to collecting donations, she thoughtfully planned a community plate lunch that brought people together in support of her teacher. Watching her rally the community was truly inspiring. She connected with people, created memories, and turned kindness into action. Through her hard work, she raised about $5000, making a meaningful impact during an incredibly difficult time. She is a genuinely good kid with a huge heart, and her selflessness and initiative are well beyond her years.
#TeamLafourche would like to congratulate Madyson on winning this award!
