Caryl Ewing was one of the first supporters of the Pointe Coupee Early Childhood Coalition, making a $5,000 donation in 2016 that seeded the success for the Coalition. Since then, she has raised more than half a million dollars to support early childhood in Pointe Coupee Parish. Her efforts have ultimately transformed the close-knit parish into the state’s rural leader in access to quality early care and education.
