The Insider's New Orleans Weekend for Your Charity Auction

What is The Insider's New Orleans Weekend? It is a risk-free consignment auction package for nonprofits: four experiences for two, including a jazz cruise, a French Quarter food walk, a cemetery tour, and a swamp cruise. All ages. No hotel. The nonprofit pays $499 only if the package sells. If it does not sell, the nonprofit owes nothing.

Four stacked New Orleans experiences for two: a jazz cruise, a French Quarter food walk, a guided cemetery tour, and a swamp cruise, all booked by a concierge. No hotel. No airfare. All ages welcome.

A weekend-shaped stack of four experiences for two guests in New Orleans: a daytime jazz cruise aboard the Steamboat Natchez, a French Quarter food walk with gumbo and po-boys as offered, a guided tour inside St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, and a Manchac swamp cruise. The CharityAuctions concierge books the dates around the winner's travel. Hotel and airfare are not included. Distinct from the 21+ cocktail and food afternoon. Children can join every experience in this stack. Tastings and cruise schedules vary. Say as offered. Do not book flights until the concierge confirms dates.
