Crescents on the River

Event Overview

On Saturday, April 2, 2011, the Crescent River Pilots Foundation will host "Crescents on the River," under the lighted twin bridges of the Crescent City Connection at the Port of New Orleans.

The benefits from our gala will fund a variety of educational initiatives starting with the design and production of several educational kiosks located on the Mississippi river.

In an effort to create a public awareness of the charitable arm of the Crescent River Pilots, the CRPF hopes to increase awareness about the proposed contribution of educational kiosks to enhance the riverfront experience to locals and visitors alike.

Gala Co-Chairs:

Capt. Allen J. "AJ" Gibbs and Mrs. Shirley Frolich Gibbs

 

Gala Steering Committee Chairs:

Capt. Douglas J. Grubbs & Sally Short Blondiau
