Celebrating SAA volunteers and our milestone of helping build our 200th Home in New Orleans

Toast for NOLA is Shirts Across America’s annual fundraising dinner celebrating where we’ve been and where we’re going. This special event honors all of the families in New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) who are still trying to move home 14 years after Hurricane Katrina as well as our volunteers who continue to make a difference in the lives of others.

Whether you’ve been with us since Day 1 or are volunteering with us for the first time this year, we are grateful for your support and your willingness to help others! We could not continue doing the work that we do in NOLA without you!

Please join us this year as we celebrate our biggest milestone to date and share with you the national attention SAA has garnered. This is the one time of year that we make an ask to the Puget Sound community to help support our programs, allowing us to ensure the most amazing immersion trips for the next year of student leaders.

At this special event, we will toast members of our SAA family who have gone above and beyond to create a lasting impact in the New Orleans community and/or in the Pacific Northwest. We hope you will join us!
