We are on the move and ready to second line to this year’s 31st Annual Justice For All Ball. After several years at the Audubon Tea Room, The Pro Bono Project is excited to host this incredible event at Mardi Gras World’s Grand Oaks Mansion. Located on the Mississippi River, the Grand Oaks Mansion is an indoor venue that places attendees in the heart of Louisiana. It features a replica of a mansion – complete with columns, footbridges, oak trees, and a starlit sky. The Patron Party will precede the Ball and be held on the second floor of this building. The Riverview Room (as the name suggests) showcases a beautiful view of the Mississippi River.
