Senator David Vitter addressed over 500 small business owners at the Jani-King Gulf Coast Annual Awards Gala held on Saturday, March 10, 2007 at the Hilton Riverside Hotel in New Orleans. The event hosted Jani-King franchise owners from across the Gulf Coast from Lake Charles, LA to the Florida panhandle. The Senator’s remarks focused on post hurricane recovery for the region and leadership in times of crisis.
Following Senator Vitter’s speech, Jani-King Gulf Coast CEO Tom Enmon and Jani-King Gulf Coast Vice President Ray Ranger presented Xavier University with a $100,000 donation to assist the university in its rebuilding efforts as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Jani-King Franchise Owner Randall Hithe and Jani-King Gulf Coast have provided cleaning services to Xavier University for the past 12 years and both played a key role in the amazing clean-up process on campus.
“On behalf of Jani-King Gulf Coast we are honored to give back to a customer who has given so much to the community here in New Orleans”, said Ranger, who along with Enmon, presented the $100,000 donation to Xavier University. “Mr. Enmon and I would also like to recognize Randall Hithe and Jani-King International for their contributions to this large donation.”
Jani-King Gulf Coast has established itself as a leader in the clean-up of New Orleans and other regions devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Working around the clock for the past 15 months, Jani-King Gulf Coast has assisted many organizations including those involved in healthcare, education and government in re-opening their doors for business.
