JA Tangi Awards
Junior Auxiliary (NAJA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1941 that encourages members to render charitable services which are beneficial to the general public with a particular emphasis on children. Amiee Moser–Parham, chairman for the Junior Auxiliary of Tangipahoa’s (JAT) Sapphire Soirée, recently shared the group's new focus to optimize resources and services for Tangipahoa residents who are in need.

Amiee was eager to share details about the Sapphire Soirée , the 48th Annual JAT “Man and Woman of the Year Award” ceremony. This year’s event will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 5, at Jacmel Inn and introduces an inaugural expansion of the awards.
Instead of the Junior Auxiliary of Tangipahoa (JAT) simply honoring the top man and woman of the year, they expanded to add four additional categories titled “People of the Year” honoring outstanding local individuals in various municipalities. With the expansion comes a push to broaden the charitable appeal of this annual event and involve past members and award recipients.
