The Nicholls State University Foundation will host the 13th annual Women’s Night Out benefit on May 3 at Cypress Columns in Gray. All proceeds from the event will benefit women’s athletics at Nicholls in Thibodaux.

Sponsored by Entergy, the Tim Emerson Team at Smith Barney, Peter Knoop of Morgan Keegan, Coca-Cola and the Nicholls Foundation, the event includes a four-course dinner, live and silent auctions and a night of entertainment— including free, after-party limousine service. Attire for the evening is dressy-casual.

“Women’s Night Out is one of the university’s most enjoyable and successful benefits; everyone who attends has a great time for a great cause,” Dr. David Boudreaux, vice president for institutional advancement, said. “This year our theme is ‘Margaritaville,’ so we can pretty much guarantee a good time. Plus, the female student athletes of Nicholls will be most grateful to all who are able and willing to participate.”

The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres, margaritas and sangria, followed by dinner at 7:15. Tickets are $100 per person. To make reservations, call the foundation at 985-448-4005 or 985-448-4134.
