Lunch with Author, Army Vet, Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Famer and Businessman Walter Imahara

Enjoy a chef-prepared lunch as Baton Rouge businessman Walter Imahara takes you on an inspiring odyssey about how his family’s “quiet determination” helped him overcome adversity and forge a path toward greatness.

Listen as the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Famer describes his time at Japanese internment camps during World War II, what drove him to serve in the very same military that relocated him to those camps, and how he found the strength to win multiple national and world titles (at the collegiate and master’s levels) and run a successful family business.

This event is at capacity. Please call 225-319-5848 to be added to the event wait list.
