Azucar Ball

This year, our annual fundraising gala, the Azúcar Ball, will be held the evening of Saturday, November 21, 2009 at the Intercontinental New Orleans from 8:00 to 1:00 A.M. All proceeds from the gala go directly towards the NOHHF Scholarship Fund.

Tuna Steak with OlivesFor this year's gala, we are thrilled to have the participation of some of our city's top restaurants, including Baru Bistro & Tapas, Bayona, Café Minh, Cochon, Galatoire's, Galvez, La Boca, Lüke, Rambla, and Upperline. We are also grateful to once again have the indispensable direction and expertise of Adolfo Garcia, head chef and co-owner of Rio Mar restaurant, who has graciously dedicated his time and energy to advising and coordinating this year's participation of restaurants.


Hope to see you there!
