Evergreen Square raises more than $500 for Sisters Network, Inc.

Tunes Over Tupelo – helping tune out cancer

Evergreen Square Apartments held its first annual Tunes Over Tupelo, Saturday, June 12, 2004 to benefit the Sisters Network, Inc., a national breast cancer survivorship organization, and raised more than $500 during the three-hour event.

A one-dollar donation granted access to more than 400 people who attended. The fundraiser brought awareness to the community as well as the residents of Evergreen Square about cancer and some preventative measures women can take. The Sisters Network administered blood pressure screenings and distributed vouchers for free mammograms for all who attended. Residence Hospice Care was also on hand providing information about their services.

Tipitina’s Special Events of New Orleans barbecued hamburgers and hotdogs with baked beans, potato salad, soft drinks and water. Live performances from the poolside stage by Quest, Outstretched Hands gospel choir and the Temple of Compassion and Deliverance Church Choir kept the tunes over Tupelo and Evergreen Square. The property’s swimming pool was open to the public where water volleyball games started up as others just enjoyed the live music at the pool.

Ticket sales to games such as the Money Wheel, the Duck Pond and Pitch Till You Win collected additional money. Additional ticket purchases could furthermore get a participant a turn at the Dunking Tank. The children also enjoyed jumping around in the 4-in-1 Bounce House.

Sponsors for the event included Aaron’s Furniture who set up a model apartment, the Boy Scouts of America who had popcorn for everyone, and Frederick A. Ross Legal Services. 92 Jamz helped the cause also by providing a live remote for the day.

Emcee Kentrel Boyd of Eye Ad, Inc. awarded door prizes throughout the course of the day. Residence Hospice Care, The Sisters Network, Inc., Whittington Office Products, Tiffany’s Tips and Toes, Premier Lady fitness center, Rent-to-Own, Sam’s Club, Wicks n’ More, Wal-Mart, Pizza Hut, Captain D’s, Red Lobster, Sunny Cross Flower, Dan’s Rent to Own and Exquisite Design all donated the prizes. A raffle was held for a pearl necklace and earrings donated by MVW Gallery of New Orleans.

Tipitina’s Foundation also conducted two DJ training seminars for the children on the property on both Friday, June 11 and directly after Tunes Over Tupelo ended. The children learned how to cue, loop, mix, scratch and pull other typical DJ moves that they showcased in a Sock Hop the evening after the event.

Fountainbleau Management, based out of New Orleans, LA, has always believed in giving back to the different communities where its properties are located. Donating to various charitable organizations, conducting fundraisers, and creating life-improvement programs on all of its properties are all a large part of its mission.
