2024 Conference Recap

 

 

At the 2024 AONL Conference in April, the Foundation received a donation match challenge for up to $10,000. We are pleased to report that AONL conference attendees met the match less than 5 minutes after it was announced on the plenary stage. In total, more than $60,000 was given because of conference activities, including the match.

The Foundation Annual Soiree was sold out this year, with over 350 attendees. featuring New Orleans style hors d’oeuvres and drinks, live music in the form of a jazz trio, and a raffle. Take a look at the photos from our photobooth here.
