Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana Blue Door Blues Gala

Blue Door Blues, the annual fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana, lit up Generations Hall on June 5, drawing supporters, community leaders and local celebrities for an evening dedicated to the region’s youth.

Attendees enjoyed lively performances by Andre & The Giants, themed talent from Paper Doll Promotions and a sparkling stop at the Glitter Up NOLA glitter bar. Pigéon Catering sated appetites.

Special appearances from members of the New Orleans Saints brought extra excitement to the evening.

The program also highlighted the transformative work of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana, which served more than 1,000 children and teens in 2024. With a focus on academic support, character development and building confidence, the clubs provide safe, positive environments for young people — especially those who need it most — to grow into caring, responsible citizens.
