Poydras Home's Third Annual Hybrid Virtual & In Person Holiday Tree Lighting & Music Festival
Annual Fundraiser
Our 2021 Third Annual Holiday Tree Lighting & Music Festival was held on December 2nd both virtually and with our residents and their family members. The event featured our outdoor tree lighting followed by two musical performances and two festive raffles. We are forever grateful for the generous support of Poydras Home’s annual fundraiser.
Enjoy pictorial highlights from our event in the May 2022 issue of St. Charles Avenue Magazine SNAPSHOTS.
Back by popular demand, Poydras Home offered two festive raffles for our Third Annual Virtual Holiday Tree Lighting & Music Festival.
Our $50 “Top of the Tree – Sparkler Raffle” featured an exquisite, handmade 14K white gold diamond bangle bracelet containing a mix of round brilliant diamonds and baguette diamonds, donated by Friend & Company Fine Jewelers, valued at $4500.
Our $25 “Santa’s Sack Raffle” offered a package of gift certificates, valued at $100 each, to top New Orleans restaurants and iconic venues including Galatoire’s Restaurant, Ralph’s On The Park, Clancy’s, Vincent’s Italian Cuisine and The Blue Crab as well as Langenstein’s Grocery Store, Creole Creamery Ice Cream Shop and Nothing Bundt Cakes!
