 Forum 35 firmly believes there are few groups that offer the young people of our city such a variety of opportunities to make a positive impact in both their life and the lives of others.
Forum 35 traces its origins back to 1993 when the Baton Rouge Area Foundation allocated seed money to form a nonprofit organization for young men and women of our community. Beginning with only 40 people, this organization would provide members personal growth opportunities, encourage philanthropic interests and cultivate professional leadership to ultimately improve the city of Baton Rouge and it's future generations of leaders.
Since that time Forum 35 has contributed time and energy to a variety of projects and organizations, and its members, both past and present, represent some of the brightest young people in the community today. Forum 35, now over 600 members strong, has been working with community leaders to address important issues facing the greater Baton Rouge area. Specifically important Forum 35 initiatives have included lighting the Mississippi River Bridge, Plan Baton Rouge, "We Are BR!" and our city's participation in the national Social Capital Survey. Currently, Forum 35 members are working to better our area schools, find ways to improve racial relationships and to strengthen community pride. As an organization we are dedicated to improving our community and cultivating the young leaders for the future.
All money that are raised from the Reindeer Run goes directly into Forum 35 programs that help the community.
