Azucar Ball 2009 presented by the New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation @ LaSalle Ballroom | Intercontinental

On Saturday, November 21, 2009, The New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation will host its nineteenth annual fund-raiser “The Azucar Ball.” This year, the theme of the event will be “Cabaret Tropicana.” It will be a wonderful night of dancing, fun and celebration of our Latin heritage.

This black tie affair will take place in the LaSalle Ballroom at the InterContinental New Orleans, 444 St. Charles Avenue, with non-stop music from 8:00 PM to 1:00 AM by Julio y Cesar and Rumba Buena. There will be a silent auction for those wanting to bid on some fantastic items and trips. As always, we will have fabulous food.

Ileana Suquet and Darleen Carlisle will co-chair this beautiful event. They are working with their committee to make this “Azucar Ball” another memorable experience. The recipient of this year’s Galvez Cup will be Eugene Schreiber, executive director of the World Trade Center in New Orleans.

The proceeds from “The Azucar Ball” will provide much needed monies for the foundation’s scholarship fund. For the past nineteen years, the New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation Scholarship Fund has provided outstanding Hispanic students with scholarships to attend public, private and parochial high schools in the city. Last year 37 scholarships were awarded.

Individual tickets to “The Azucar Ball” are $100.00. Tickets to the patron party and the ball are $150.00. For ticket information please call Rosa Rodriguez or Hannagan Johnson at (504)523-2600.
