Enterprises, Inc. (CGB), and its affiliated company, Zen-Noh Grain Corporation (Zen-Noh). The four-year
agreement gives CGB/Zen-Noh exclusive naming rights to the Pelican Park Green
Complex, which features four diamond fields used primarily for
youth baseball.
“CGB and Zen-Noh are proud to be a sponsor of Pelican
Park. Pelican Park is a premier multi-purpose complex that provides
wonderful opportunities for children and adults alike. CGB and Zen-Noh’s
family of employees have, and will continue, to use these facilities for many
years to come. We look forward to supporting a wonderful complex located
in the hometown of our company’s headquarters,” explained Lance Rase, Senior VP
at CGB.
CGB has been an innovative and progressive
leader in the grain and transportation industries since 1969. Headquartered in
Covington, LA, CGB delivers solutions that include everything from buying,
storing, selling and shipping of agricultural products, to global supply chain
solutions. CGB has grown into an
enterprise with more than 2,000 employees overseeing a diverse family of
businesses.
Zen-Noh was established
in New Orleans in 1979 with the goal of establishing a safe and stable supply
of U.S. foodgrains and soybeans for the production of compound feed by
Zen-Noh's feed mills in Japan.
In
addition to the financial support the CGB/Zen-Noh sponsorship provides to
Pelican Park, it also honors longtime Pelican Park supporter Larry Rase. Larry,
who enjoyed a 26-year career with CGB/Zen-Noh, was president in the 1980’s
of the Fourth Ward Recreation Association, a volunteer group of local recreation
advocates who first acquired the property and funding for Pelican Park's
construction. Larry, who passed away in 2022, also led the effort to establish
the Park's first – and current – sponsorship program.
"On behalf of the board and staff of Recreation
District #1 / Pelican Park, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for
the generous sponsorship from CGB Enterprises, Inc. and Zen-Noh Grain
Corporation for the Green Triplex fields," Pelican Park Executive Director
Jenny Dexter said. "We also recognize Larry Rase for his constant support
of Pelican Park as an advocate and volunteer coach beginning with the park’s
inception in the 1980s and lasting until his passing. Pelican Park is honored
to partner with CGB/Zen-Noh through this sponsorship as they are such great
pillars in our community. We look forward to building new youth baseball
programs and future memories in the CGB/Zen-Noh Green Complex.”
Funds
raised through the Pelican Park Sponsorship Program allow Recreation District #1/Pelican Park to
invest in additional activities, programs, and facilities that would not be
possible through the dedicated tax millage that is the primary – and almost exclusive – funding source for the
Park.
Pelican Park serves the 75,000+
residents of Recreation District #1, and there are more than 1 million visitors
to Pelican Park each year. The Park boasts 32 athletic fields, a 3-court gym, a 4-court gym, the
recently renovated 46,000-square-foot multi-purpose Castine Center, a walking
trail, a dog park, a skate park, sand volleyball courts, and an 18-hole disc
golf course.
The Park is also home
to The Groves, a 2019 addition that includes 8 pickleball
courts, a covered outdoor fitness equipment area, walking trail with
boardwalk, pond, green space and a family game area with 2 horseshoe courts, 2
bocce courts, 2 shuffleboard courts, and 2 corn hole sets. Also in 2019, the
Park acquired the adjacent Northlake
Nature Center (NNC) from St. Tammany Parish. The 200-acre NNC features a
kayak/canoe launch, biking and hiking trails, and more, and has a history of
hosting events such as moonlight hikes, group paddles, yoga, and birdwatching.
Wow!
Pelican Park wants to offer a huge THANK YOU to the partnership of St. Tammany
Health System and Ochsner Health, the Park’s very first sponsor under our
comprehensive new sponsorship program.
St. Tammany and Ochsner partnered with the
Park as our Youth League Sponsor, which means you’ll see their co-branded logo
on all Pelican Park youth league uniforms and awards t-shirts for the next
three years! Their endorsement of the Park’s mission, “to make a difference in
the lives of children and adults by meeting the recreation, sports, and social
needs of more than 65,000 residents in the greater Mandeville area and beyond,”
displays an admirable commitment to our community at large, healthy lifestyles,
and a superior quality of life for all who frequent Pelican Park.
Again, we say THANK YOU to St. Tammany Health
System and Ochsner Health for their support of Pelican Park!
