Besides the generous chefs and caterers, OC sends out gratitude to the generous businesses and individuals in our community who provided some awesome auction items for the Live and Silent Auctions! We were grateful to have the Blue Dog print donated by the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts in memory of Wilda Cosgrove, mother of Marty (‘82) and Kathryn (‘86) and grandmother of Caroline (‘13) and Evan (‘19). We even had a residential set of house plans available by OC parent Tucker Smith! These along with the other 80+ items from jewelry to artwork to gifts and more helped to make the evening lots of fun! Special thanks goes out to our talented parents and teachers who helped with the precious class projects We were also happy to have six Table Sponsors … thank you Dupre Carrier Godchaux Agency Lily Pad Pediatrics, Dr. Allison Hatfield Mama’s Fried Chicken/Danny’s Tire World Neuner Pate Law Firm Opelousas General Health System St. Landry Homestead Bank We are blessed by many good friends in our community! |
