Supporters of the New Orleans Women & Children’s Shelter raised their glasses — and funds — at the Bubbles & Bubbly fundraiser on March 30, in City Parks’ Arbor Room at Popp Fountain.
Presented by Gulf Coast Bank & Trust, the evening brought together supporters for a lively night of food, drinks and music, while the focus remained on supporting the shelter’s mission.
Guests explored the silent auction with 157 items up for bid with offerings that included a Toups Dinner Experience, donated by Amanda and Isaac Toups, and a New Orleans Getaway featuring The Roosevelt New Orleans, City Sightseeing and New Orleans Paddlewheels.
