A Record-Breaking Mardis Gras for PATH!

Mardi Gras season brought another unforgettable celebration in support of our neighbors in need. And what a night it was! This year’s festivities concluded on Fat Tuesday at Stanley’s Famous Pit Barbecue, where our community gathered to celebrate generosity, partnership, and impact.

The evening began in the PATH parking lot with our second line parade leading the way to Stanley’s, setting the tone for a joyful celebration. Together, we recognized this year’s incredible Mardi Gras Court and the difference their efforts made through this special fundraiser.

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our supporters, this year’s Mardi Gras fundraiser raised a record-breaking $92,008 to help provide help and hope to neighbors across East Texas. Congratulations to our newly appointed King and Queen of the Court, John Wampler and Lindsey Harrison, and heartfelt thanks to everyone who gave, attended, and made the evening such a success.

Thank You to Our 2026 Mardis Gras Court!

PATH’s Mardi Gras Fundraiser concluded on Fat Tuesday with the leadership and dedication of 10 outstanding community leaders who served as our Mardi Gras Court. Each court member championed this campaign with passion and generosity, rallying support for PATH’s programs and the neighbors we serve every day.

We are deeply grateful for the time, energy, and heart our Court poured into this year’s fundraiser. Their efforts inspired our community and resulted in a record-breaking campaign – a powerful reminder of what’s possible when leaders step forward for a cause that matters.

To our Mardi Gras Court: thank you for helping make this season one to remember.
