The annual Soraparu Soirée benefiting Raphael Village is our biggest fundraiser of the year. On this night, friends come together in the beautifully renovated and historic Bond Bakery building located on Soraparu Street. This COVID-friendly wonderful evening includes live music, gourmet delicacies, delicious libations, a silent auction and an electric bike raffle.

This year’s honoree was Dr. Julia Garcia-Diaz. A parent at Raphael Academy for many years, we recognize that Dr. Garcia-Diaz has been working diligently in her role as Ochsner’s Principal Investigator on the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine for adolescents to help put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are grateful for her hard work and dedication on behalf of the community.  

This year we are using an online platform that allows our supporters to bid on our silent auction items from afar!
