On Saturday, October 4th, the Brother Martin community gathered on campus for Elysian Fields Forever...Let The Good Times Roll, presented by Hancock Whitney. The event welcomed more than 700 guests, including parents, friends, Alumni of St. Aloysius, Cor Jesu, and Brother Martin, and Brother Martin High School Faculty and Staff, making the event Brother Martin’s largest annual fundraiser!

Guests were transported to Las Vegas with live gaming, the Elysian Fields Experience, and Barry's Palace. The evening began with the Patron Party at 6 p.m., where guests enjoyed delicious food prepared by Pigéon Catering and Events (Dean Pigeon '06), Copelands, Erin Caruso and Beverly Napier, Haydel's Bakery, and Brother Martin’s own Culinary Crusaders.  Following the Patron Party, the Main Event began with President Greg Rando ’77 welcoming and thanking guests for their support.

Guests enjoyed Blackjack, Craps and Roulette gaming tables and a selection of silent auction items were open for bidding. Several raffles, including the “$5,000 Cash Raffle,”  “50/50,” “Blanton’s Bourbon Raffle,” were a huge hit along with the Specialty Cups and cocktails. The evening’s Master of Ceremonies was Mark Romig '74. Guests enjoyed music by the Crusader Stage Band followed by the Peyton Falgoust Band. Auction sponsors and donors were recognized throughout the night as well as on our auction website. The festivities concluded with Director of Advancement Kenny Spellman'84 thanking guests as well as the committee.
