For an idea of the ambience, pictures from past galas can be found on our website: www.lesfaeriesvertes.org Les Faeries Vertes is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 2008. We aim to do good for our community while having a great time doing it! Modeled after the Mardi Gras krewe organizations of New Orleans, Louisiana and Mobile, Alabama, our mission is to support local charities while introducing people to the culture and fun of Mardi Gras. Each year our membership selects a local/regional charity for which we throw a Mardi Gras benefit ball in February or March. Throughout the rest of the year, we have smaller events to raise funds for our selected charities. 85 - 85 USD
