YALA Gras puts a jazzy new twist on our annual fundraising event in a venue that embodies the rhythm, creativity, and cultural legacy that inspire YALA’s mission. We are thrilled to partner with the New Orleans Jazz Museum, a space that celebrates artistic expression and New Orleans’ rich musical heritage.
Enjoy an unforgettable evening of live music, local cuisine and beverages, and a spirited live art auction featuring paintings created during our 2025 YALA Art Live event at Urban South Brewery
We will also honor Marguerite Moisio for her profound commitment to YALA’s mission, her long-standing leadership on our Board of Directors, and her significant contributions to advancing our philanthropic initiatives.
This year’s event is chaired by Dr. Karen Brooks Favorite and Tabitha Manue. A special thank you to the event committee: Stella Del Bianco, Greg Lambousy, Caroline Meehan, and Colin Sternhell.
Each ticket is a chance to win a special gift from our Sparkle Sponsor!
