New Orleans, La, July 30, 2018 – Copeland’s of New Orleans has agreed to be the title sponsor of the 2019 Lympho-Maniac Party whereby they will be providing all food catering services to the 1,500+ people that attend the event every year. “The Lympho-Maniac event is exactly what we look for in an organization to partner with especially given the opportunity to be the exclusive caterer and provide authentic New Orleans cuisine to its guests,” said Al Copeland Jr., Chairman of the Board and CEO of Al Copeland Investments. “I absolutely love the New Orleans spirit of this event and the connection it has to Copeland’s events. We are proud to be the title sponsor to an event that provides a great time for such a meaningful cause.”
The Annual Lympho-Maniac 70’s Party has become a big community event with a special history. Chad Landry (Founder of New Orleans Lympho-Maniacs) is a former East Jefferson General Hospital patient and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor. He graduated from LSU, spent three years working in Houston, then moved back to New Orleans in January 2002. Shortly thereafter, he decided to hold a party with the help of friends and family in order to raise money for local New Orleans Cancer projects, programs, and services, including caring for the financial needs of those lower income families who have been impacted by cancer. Since its inception, New Orleans Lympho-Maniacs have raised over $1.2 million for local cancer causes here in New Orleans.
The 14th Annual Lympho-Maniac 70’s party is set for Saturday March 30th, 2019 in River City Ballroom of New Orleans Mardi Gras World. Advance tickets are $80/person. The 2019 Cancer fundraising goal for Lympho-Maniac Party is $300,000 with all proceeds directed to grants for lower income families who have someone being treated for cancer by an East Jefferson General Hospital or LSU Health Sciences physician. Cancer causes a financial hardship for those families, and these grants help lessen the burden by assisting with medical bills, medical travel, house notes, grocery bills, and more.
