Because of unavoidable delays and hiccups Hurricane Isaac caused in planning and preparations for the Sept. 29 dashTHIRTYdash fundraising event, we have cancelled the pre-event patron party.

Rio Mar Seafood, which was going to host the patron party, will now instead join Galatoire’s, Ralph’s on the Park, a Mano, Cafe Atchafalaya, Liberty’s Kitchen and Whole Foods Market Arabella Station in providing food at the main event at The Howlin’ Wolf.

$30 General Admission tickets are available online by clicking here, or at the door the night of the event.

Any Times-Picayune employee or contractor who’s losing his or her job is invited to attend for free, along with a significant other. Please email Rebecca Theim at rebecca at rebeccatheim dot com for those complimentary ticket(s).

Guests are still invited to support the event and the cause at the patron levels below and will be publicly thanked at the main event and enjoy an open bar there. Patron tickets are available for online purchase by clicking here.
