AUCTION INFORMATION
The mission of The New Orleans Prom Committee is to raise funds and awareness for the “New Orleans Pride ‘I’m Bigger’ Campaign”. http://www.prideneworleans.com/#!imbigger/c1o3r
“I’m Bigger” is a program by Pride Cares, a division of New Orleans Pride that gives back to the community. We work to raise awareness, educate, and support teens and young adults ages 14-24 on Anti-Bullying and Suicide Prevention. New Orleans Pride events attempt to bring all families together to promote tolerance, education to end homophobia, and prevent bullying in both the workplace and school.
National statistics indicate that nearly 1 in 3 students are involved in bullying. Louisiana has recently seen three high profile suicides linked to bullying at school.
- Louisiana ranks #1 in the Nation for the highest percent of high school students who attempted suicide
- Louisiana ranks 2nd worst in the Nation when it comes to controlling bullying”
“This is why we need the New Orleans Pride "I'm Bigger" Program. - Chris Leonard, Executive Director of “New Orleans Pride”

Xena Zeit-Geist
http://www.xenazeitgeist.com/ Since 2014, I've made it my full-time job to create burlesque productions that push boundaries and satiate audiences that crave entertainment with a sexy twist. I'm perhaps best known as the Founder and Artistic Director of The Society of Sin Burlesque & Variety, a troupe that specializes in nerdlesque, a performance style which combines cosplay with the art of the tease.
