Come join the Monaghan and Koehlar families again for a day of poker, drinks, and fun to help benefit the children of New Orleans. On Saturday, June 26th, they’ll be remembering Jim Monaghan with the ultimate tribute: a Poker Crawl led from bar to bar throughout the French Quarter.
This year’s proceeds will be donated to The Roots of Music…this program serves almost 100 students, making up a full marching band that is successfully parading the city since Mardi Gras 2009. The program provides music education in history, theory, instrumental instruction and ensemble performance. Furthermore, academic tutoring is offered to ensure the students maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in school. Participation in the Roots of Music is free for students but attendance is mandatory. The students are also provided a hot meal before being sent home on buses.
Registration will be in Jackson Square in front of the Cabildo from 9:45am - 111:15am, where participants will enjoy a performance by the students and get their first card. The rest of the hand of 5 card stud will be dealt at Erin Rose, Molly’s at the Market, and two other locations to be announced. Hands will be judged at 13 Monaghan, where there will also be an auction.
