Leave a Legacy

Ellis Marsalis has already left us a lasting legacy of inspired musical performances. As member of the Foundation’s 1923 Society, he is also leaving a legacy of another sort. The Marsalis Family has created the Mboya K. Marsalis Fund, named for their autistic son. Mr. Marsalis is pictured here with his wife Dolores and their son, Mboya.
