NOAGE in TV Land! A Fundraiser Gala at The Cajun Ballroom

October 21, 2022 By Jim Meadows

New Orleans Advocates for LGBTQ+ Elders (NOAGE) will be hosting a fundraising gala on Friday, November 18, 7-10PM, at Audubon Nature Institute’s Cajun Ballroom. Tickets are available now at noage.kindful.com/e/2022gala. The last NOAGE gala sold out in advance, so be sure to get your tickets today!

There will be music, dancing, food, an open bar, and all the great fun you’ve come to expect from our annual gala. This year’s theme is “NOAGE in TV Land!” Dress as your favorite character(s) from TV, Netflix, HBOMax, Disney+, etc. Stranger Things, Drag Race, Game of Thrones, Schitt’s Creek…the possibilities are endless, so show us what you’ve been watching! (Costuming is encouraged, but not required. Business casual is OK too!)

The gala will also feature the 2022 NOAGE Awards. This year’s award-winners include Misti Gaither (Trailblazer Award) and Noel Twilbeck (Community Impact Award). Noel Twilbeck has been working on behalf of the local LGBTQ+ community since the 1980s. He is the CEO of CrescentCare (formerly known as NO/AIDS Task Force). He began as a volunteer with the organization in 1987, was hired as Director of Volunteer Services in 1989, and became Executive Director in 1999. Misti Gaither has worked as an activist, advocate, and fundraiser for the local LGBTQ+ community for many years, supporting a wide range of organizations, including Food for Friends, PFLAG, Big Easy Animal Rescue, Anna’s Place, and countless others.
