All table and ticket purchases will be assigned a Fair Market Value of $75 per seat.

The event will have a traditional auction for your shopping and bidding pleasure.

We are thrilled to have selected the historic Eldorado Ballroom, built in 1939, as our venue for the luncheon. It served as a lively venue for many notable local and international jazz and blues performance artists. It was a centerpiece of Third Ward up until the 1970s.  Project Row Houses received the building as a gift and after extensive renovation, reopened in 2023. We felt this was wonderful way to support Preservation and support our community partners.
