Luck was a lady for the Touro Infirmary Foundation Casino Night, when supporters filled the Audubon Tea Room for the annual benefit.
Guests were there as part of the celebration of 100 years of maternity services at Touro Infirmary and to help raise funds for new Nursing Nests, which are stationary locations at venues around New Orleans that provide safe, clean and comfortable nursing areas for breastfeeding mothers. There is also a mobile Nursing Nest. In 2021, the Casino Night supported the Breast Care Center.
At the party guests could “gamble” at three card poker, craps, roulette and black jack, with the top three chip counts at the end of the evening receiving a special prize. There was also a silent auction with locally donated items. Further entertainment was provided by Jimi Burtchaell, who is a Touro employee.
