A GOOD TIME FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

NEW ORLEANS     Everything about this evening was jazzed!

The moment attendees arrived at the Toulouse Street docking wharf met by a trio of young Jazz Lions blazing with fire to the moment that they disembarked the Natchez Steamboat, the 100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans Inc. delivered an amazing evening with JAMMIN' ON THE RIVER For Dollars & Sense on June 6th, 2013, 9:30 pm to Midnight.

Headlined by acclaimed Jazz Musician Delfeayo Marsalis and his quintet on the main deck and DJ Definition Red on the top deck, JAMMIN' ON THE RIVER For Dollars & Sense featured New Orleans music, food and live art auction with La Belle Gallery.  Sponsored in part by Miller Coors, the event helped to raise important funds for the chapter's educational initiatives.

"We got off to a fantastic start," stated 100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans Treasurer Johnathan Wilson. "From the great and overwhelming response, it looks like this may become an annual event."

"This was a wonderful event and most worthy cause," proclaimed Adele London.  "My husband and I had a lovely time. We got to coast the powerful Mississippi River, listening to the phenomenal Delfeayo Marsalis, eating delectable hor d'oeuvres like mini muffulettas while surrounded by amazing art! Now, how wonderful it that!" 

Keep up with 100 Black Men of Metro New Orleans Inc., follow them at www.100blackmennola.org. The organization will hold a School Supply Giveaway on Saturday, July 27th, 2013.
