NEW ORLEANS – Desire NOLA will celebrate their 10-year reunion and reemergence into the Greater New Orleans community with a free Happy Hour on Friday, July 31, 2015, at the New Orleans Jazz Market, 1436 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The Desire NOLA team is returning in a big way by implementing a $100,000 grant campaign to encourage civic leadership development and will be funded by program sponsorships, Desire NOLA T-shirts, and the Civic Entrepreneurship Contest.
The Happy Hour will be held at the Bolden Bar located inside the New Orleans Jazz Market. This event will serve as a return of the Desire NOLA fundraiser and a kick-start to the sponsorship program for the Civic Entrepreneur Contest. The New Orleans Jazz Market will also be donating 20% of the proceeds to Desire NOLA. Guests are invited to come and learn about the nonprofit, meet the team, socialize and help give back to the community. Fliers, T-shirt design and more information about the Civic Entrepreneur Contest will be available at the event.
Desire NOLA is a locally based nonprofit founded in 2005 by a group of community leaders committed to rebuilding the Greater New Orleans area by assisting small businesses. Today, the Desire NOLA team, comprised of former board members, volunteers, partners and grant recipients, is organizing a Civic Entrepreneur Contest to continue the founding mission of the organization by encouraging civic leadership development through community project development and implementation.
