This year's theme is “Craws for a Cause”. Boiled crawfish will be served along with other New Orleans-style dishes such as muffalettas, jambalaya and beignets. New Orleans-based funk band, The legendary JC’s, will perform with opening acts from various Ohana Records artists.

Torre Rosa is Italian for “Pink Tower”, a set of building blocks whichis part of the foundation of learning for young children just starting out in Montessori education. Funds raised from the Torre Rosa party enable the school to award deserving families financial assistance. Last year the school gave $70,000 in assistance to local families. Over one-third of currently-enrolled families receive some form of financial assistance.
