Imagination Gala

In the interest of the health and safety of our community as we continue to recover from the COVID-19 Pandemic, Ochsner Health has postponed the inaugural Imagination Gala until Spring 2021. Thank you to all of our supporters in 2020 for their generous support of Ochsner Hospital for Children. We would also like to thank our Event Chairs and committee for their time and commitment. Please join us in May 2021 for the inaugural Imagination Gala, taking place at Mardi Gras World.

The Benefactor Dinner

The Benefactor Dinner celebrates the loyal and generous members of the Benefactor and Heritage societies each year through a special dinner and presentation. All donors at the Councilor level of giving ($5,000+) are invited to join us as we induct the newest members of the Benefactor and Heritage Societies. The Benefactor Society recognizes donors who have given $25,000 or more and the Heritage Society recognizes all donors who have included Ochsner Health in their estate plans. While our 2020 celebration could not be held in person, we gratefully recognize the Benefactor Class of 2020 for their generosity.
