As part of the day’s celebration, Posse New Orleans hosted a community-building crawfish boil at Bayou Beer Garden, which raised more than $5,500 from attendees. Posse supporters enjoyed music and crawfish during this highly anticipated in-person event, gathering to show their appreciation for Posse New Orleans and Posse Scholars.
“GiveNOLA Day is such a special day for the city of New Orleans,” says Posse New Orleans Advisory Board member Angel King Johnson. “It is wonderful to be a part of an event that has such a huge impact on our community. We are so proud to have broken our fundraising record for Posse New Orleans.”
"GiveNOLA Day is all about investing in the promise and potential of our great city,” says Posse New Orleans Director Sherdren Burnside. “We are grateful for such a generous investment in our city’s next generation of leaders."
