Each year, this Mardi Gras-themed cocktail party brings together over 400 BRAWS supporters and features hors d’oeuvres, silent auction, raffle, dancing, photo booth and full cash bar. Mardi Gras cocktail attire and masquerade masks are encouraged. New this year was an opt-in people’s choice award for Best Masquerade Mask, Best Themed Individual or Couples Attire, and Best Themed Krewe Attire. Congrats to our winners!
