The weekend is chock full of fun things to do, and don't forget to celebrate your Mom on Sunday too! Here's some fun things happening this weekend....
Friday!
Tonight come out for a very important fundraiser - Throwing Shade on Skin Cancer: A Benefit for Kara Morgan - 5:30 to 10 pm at NOLA Brewing (3301 Tchoupitoulas St.). Throwing Shade on Skin Cancer will have music, burlesque, beer and liquor (included in the cost of the ticket), silent auction, raffle, food trucks, and more! Freaksheaux To Geaux will be the burlesque troupe, and there will be music by Craig Klein, Bert Cotton, Margie Perez, Derrick Freeman, Ingrid Lucia, Paul Sanchez, Marc Stone, Soul Apostle, Chris Boone with Sol Fiya... and more!

**Community activist, neighborhood leader, and mother, Kara Morgan, was diagnosed with Stage IV Melanoma in February 2013, and has begun aggressive treatment at the renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Over and above what her medical insurance covers, Kara will incur the cost of frequent trips to Houston with extended overnight stays. These expenses, combined with the mounting out-of-pocket medical costs, will place a significant financial burden on Kara and her family.
