Donaldsonville Elks Freedom Ball raising money for veteran service programs

ASCENSION PARISH (WAFB) - The Inaugural Elks Freedom Ball is kicking off in Ascension Parish Saturday, Jan 14.

It’s happening at 6 p.m. at the Ascension Gym at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales. The event will feature Party at Joes.

The Donaldsonville Elks Lodge #1153 was founded in 1909, and the membership has given countless hours of volunteer support and thousands of dollars in grants and assistance in its over 100-year existence.

The Freedom Ball is a public fundraising program hosted by Donaldsonville Elks Lodge #1153 to support veteran service programs. It will include the traditions and fanfare of a traditional carnival ball and is a continuation of the Elk’s Carnival Ball celebrating its 90th Year Anniversary.

Proceeds from the ball will provide services that benefit the health and well-being of veterans who serve, have served, and have given their lives to protect us.

The Inaugural Freedom Ball will feature Maxine Crump and WAFB’s Johnny Ayhsen.
