LAF 40th Annual Benefit
With 600 guests and 25 generous sponsors, this event was a lively and memorable evening with the deeper purpose of supporting LAF and its key programs and initiatives.
LAF's 40th Annual Benefit was held on October 10, 2025 at Gallier Hall in New Orleans. An exemplar of Greek Revival architecture, this National Historic Landmark building with its elegant ballrooms was the perfect backdrop to catch up with friends and make new connections. Thank you to all who attended!
The benefit celebrated the transformative work made possible by LAF's many friends, partners, and supporters. Guests enjoyed a variety of rooms with a jazz trio, local food stations, a DJ and dancefloor, photobooth, ice cream sandwich bar, and more.
