Event Details
Join the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation for an evening of incognito fun and giving from the heart at the annual Hook and Ladder Masquerade Ball!
Along with our hostess, NBC 11 and The Real Deal's Jeanette Pavini,
AARBF is shakin' things up with a reinvigorated format: a proper modern
ball with loads of dancing, drinks, entertainment, delicious food, and
more to keep you on your feet and entertained.

Here are only a few things that are going to make this one of the best events of the year:
Competitive silent auction
Soul revealing tarot readings by Thalassa
Live auction of luxury items & experiences (Bourbon Street, anyone?)
Hosted wine provided by Hook & Ladder Winery
Delicious food from Living Room Entertainment Catering
Hosted beer from The Tied House Brewery & Cafe
Mystery treasure chest raffle prizes
Dancing, dancing, dancing!
The Hook & Ladder Award
Costume Contest
You!
Note: this is not a seated dinner, but there will be plenty of seats available to rest your dancing feet!
ATTIRE
Whether you come dressed for the Venetian Carnevale,
emulate Lady Gaga, or suit up in your best cocktail or black
tie threads, a MASK IS REQUIRED!
A phenomenal, New Orleans masketeer is donating 10%
of their sales for the Hook and Ladder Masquerade Ball back
to AARBF! Visit Mask Italia and use code "AARBF."
Also, local entrepreneur Bridal Bijou is offering the same deal! Buy a mask and reference "Hook & Ladder Ball." They will donate 10% of the proceeds to AARBF!
(P.S. - no, sunglasses do not count as masks.)
