The Angel Award

Angel Award Rules and Regulations

Know an angel? Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana hopes you do, so we can honor them with our Angel Award and give them some money to help their causes.*

Angels to us are outstanding Louisianians who are working to make life better for Louisiana youngsters.

Nomination Rules

• Individuals only; no groups can be nominated. However, a person may be nominated for individual work done as a member of a group. 
• A person's lifetime accomplishments will be considered. 
• Nominated effort must have been done in Louisiana. 
• Nominees can be paid for their work, but we're looking at efforts going above and beyond job responsibilities. Work-release and course credit efforts are also eligible.
