Nothing But NET

Last weekend, The NET's Third Annual Nothing But NET fundraiser featured a soiree at The New Orleans Jazz Market and a 3-on-3 basketball tournament.  The soiree featured musical performances, a silent auction, awards for partners of The NET, and an opportunity for guests to learn more about the school.  The basketball tournament featured some heated competition as teams played for a cash prize and trophy, while a free community resource fair connected community members to valuable services.
