Dr. John Kirwan, Pennington Biomedical Executive Director and LA CaTS Center Director,
participated in the 134th Rose Parade in Paseadena, CA on January 2, 2023. Dr. Kirwan (representing Baton
Rouge), along with the Louisiana Office of Tourism and other destinations, were part
of the exquisite Louisiana Travel Celebration Riverboat “Feed Your Soul” float. This
was the first time in history Baton Rouge has participated in the parade. It was an
opportunity to celebrate the advancements of health and research in the Capital City.
The float won the Showmanship Award for the most outstanding display of showmanship
and entertainment. Congratulations to the Louisiana Travel team, Dr. Kirwan and all
participants for representing our state so well.
