Caring For Our Community: Rupa & Tarun Jolly

Community

Our own, Dr. Tarun Jolly and his wife Dr. Rupa with other local philanthropists, chaired the New Orleans Museum Of Art’s (NOMA) Odyssey Ball on November 15th, 2019.

The couple is actively involved with NOMA and has attended the Ball the previous 5 years.

The Odyssey 2019: Mystère Louisiane celebrated the New Orleans Museum of Art in an evening of unparalleled elegance. The event raises funds to support NOMA’s nationally-recognized exhibitions and educational programs, which bring more than 300,000 annual visitors to the museum and Besthoff sculpture garden.

Dr. Jolly believes in staying active within the Greater New Orleans community, where he serves on the Board of Directors of Newman School, Dean’s Advisory Board for Tulane School of Public Health, the NOMA Board of Trustees, and the Advisory Board for New Orleans Bio innovation Center.
