ZACHARY, La. (April 27, 2026) — The Lane Foundation’s first annual Bourbon, BBQ & Wine event delivered an afternoon of great food, live entertainment, and strong community support on Saturday, April 25, at the Lane Walking Track on the campus of Lane Regional Medical Center.

Community members and supporters of the Lane Foundation gathered from noon to 4 p.m. to enjoy a festive spring atmosphere featuring bourbon tastings, BBQ from local vendors, curated wine selections, and live music throughout the day. Performances by The Dizzy! Duo, The Dad Band, and the Southland Band kept the energy high as guests sampled offerings and connected with friends and neighbors.

“The event exceeded expectations in every way,” said Lane Foundation Director Liz Sagely. “From the quality of the food and entertainment to our incredible guests, it was a great day for our community and for the Foundation’s mission.”

Proceeds from the event will directly support the Lane Foundation’s efforts to enhance healthcare services, expand programs, and improve patient care throughout the region.

The success of the event is credited to the strong support of attendees, sponsors, and volunteers. Special thanks to event sponsors whose contributions made the fundraiser possible, as well as to the City of Zachary for providing a shuttle and driver to assist with transportation and logistics.

With a successful inaugural year in the books, the Lane Foundation is already looking ahead. Plans are underway to expand Bourbon, BBQ & Wine in 2027, building on this year’s momentum.
