Black & Gold Gala welcomed over 700 attendees to Ochsner Sports Performance Center

Friday, March 20, the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Black & Gold Gala, presented by CF Industries, an unapologetically extravagant event on the turf of the Saints Training Field at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center thanks to the hosting sponsor, the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans.

“It was an honor to welcome our community back to one of Jefferson Chamber’s most anticipated signature events,” said President Ruth Lawson. “Each year, this event continues to grow in both scale and impact. I’m incredibly proud of our team and grateful to everyone who played a role in its success.”

Hosting more than 700 guests, the Black and Gold Gala offered attendees the opportunity to bid in a silent auction featuring unique gifts and experiences donated by local businesses and organizations, as well as one-of-a-kind items and extravagant vacation packages. Guests also tried their luck at a punch wall with gift certificates ranging from $25 to $100 donated by local businesses. With an open bar, casino games, and live entertainment, all enhanced by elegant lighting sponsored by Peoples Health, guests enjoyed an evening of networking, dancing, and celebration.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Jefferson Chamber of Chamber in accomplishing its mission to support business growth, provide resources, and enhance partnerships to support a thriving community.
