Jefferson Beautification Parkway Promenade XXXIII shined at its Denim & Diamonds Gala on March 30 at Chateau Golf and Country Club.
This year’s theme encouraged guests to dress the part, blending casual denim chic with a touch of glittering glamour. Presented by Metairie Bank & Trust and with Al Gardes serving as honorary chair, the gala offered entertainment from The Benchwarmers and a silent auction that featured an array of items, including a silver bracelet from Aucoin Hart Jewelers. Attendees also enjoyed a 50/50 raffle and a parade of prizes, offering additional opportunities to support the group’s mission.
Since 1990, Jefferson Beautification has raised more than $2.8 million to fund beautification and educational projects throughout Jefferson Parish. From East to West Bank, the group collaborates with government agencies, local businesses, civic groups, garden clubs, schools and individuals to maintain and enhance the parish’s green spaces. Funds raised at Parkway Promenade help support the general operating budget, allowing its work to continue year-round.
Fun Fact: The theme for Parkway Promenade is chosen to generate excitement for the guests, who get into spirit of the event and dress up to match the theme.
