Briefcase Blues Band Rocks Mardi Gras Masquerade 2010!
The Party with a Purpose benefiting the American Red Cross – Dallas Area Chapter
The Briefcase Blues Band was the perfect choice for Mardi Gras Masquerade 2010 benefiting American Red Cross – Dallas Area Chapter. Over 400 revelers outfitted in masks and beads attended this party with a purpose.
“The dance floor was packed! Masquerade masks were everywhere and the beads were flying!” said B. J. Coffman, Honorary Chair. “The House of Blues is the perfect venue for this exciting party. It lifted our hearts to see so many people attending in support of the American Red Cross. Relief aid for the recent disaster in Haiti has been met with strong support and everyone is so thankful. We also ask everyone to keep in mind, our Dallas Area Chapter serves 12 counties and answers emergency calls every day with assistance for food, housing, clothing and so much more, so continued support means more than ever.”
The VIP reception began early and featured Dan Cavanagh’s Jazz Emporium Big Band, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. After the VIP reception, the evening featured cocktails, New Orleans style buffet, casino, auction and a raffle. The silent auction brought in $22,000 and trips to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, Rosewood CordeValle and American Airlines tickets to Europe were the top dollar items.
Also, very important components in the success of this event are the contributions by sponsors and underwriters which included Target, American Airlines, Don Carter, Dallas Airmotive and so many more. We thank everyone who volunteered, the committee, and all who were involved.
All Red Cross services support our mission of helping families prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Our Congressional Charter mandates two services: Disaster Services and Armed Forces Emergency Services. In addition to these, the Dallas Area Red Cross offers a wide variety of humanitarian, educational, and health and safety programs to the more than 4.1 million people in our twelve-county service area.
