Krewe de Pink’s annual Prom takes place on Saturday, September 30, 2023 at the Generations Hall in New Orleans, LA. Dressed in their favorite Prom styles or pink bling, attendees will enjoy a night of live music, a unique auction, fun raffles, a dance performance and a special tribute highlighting Breast Cancer Survivors who attend the event.
This adult (21 & older) Prom night is a cash bar event featuring Krewe de Pink’s 2023 Cocktail Contest winner’s specialty drinks. Attendees may bring along snacks and favorite party food items for their table.
The Krewe de Pink Prom auction has a variety of items to bid on including New Orleans Staycation packages, jewelry, artwork and one-of-a-kind hand decorated costume bras. Raffle prizes include a wine barrel, a beer bucket, a Lotto ticket bundle and there will even be a chance to win the title of Krewe de Pink Prom Queen or King 2023!
The Pussyfooters will show their support for the cause with a special performance and a Breast Cancer Survivors promenade will take place honoring survivors present during the event.

Crucial Tips to Keep Your Home Safe During 2023's Hurricane Season
With the rise in extreme weather, the strength of storms and the damage caused is only predicted to get worse. Therefore, it’s important to know the risks and the steps you can take, including buying flood insurance, to protect the life you’ve built.
Know the Facts.
- On average, just one inch of floodwater in an average size home can cause roughly $25,000 in damage.
- Where it can rain, it can flood. A property does not need to be near water to flood. In fact, more than 40% of flood insurance claims come from outside of the high-risk flood zone.
- Everyone lives in a flood zone. The only question is whether or not you live in a low, moderate, or high-risk area. Coastal areas may be at a higher risk, but flooding can happen anywhere at any time.
- Most homeowners and renters insurance policies don’t cover damage from flooding.
- Store documents in a flood-safe place.
- Elevate machinery and furniture.
- Toss out debris from gutters.
- Buy flood insurance.
Flood insurance is proven to help people affected by floods recover faster. But it’s important to act now. Policies typically require 30 days from the date of purchase to take effect. Don’t wait for a hurricane to assess your risk and take action.
Visit floodsmart.gov to learn more and to find an insurance provider.
