A
Carnival Community Focus Program
Since
the early days of Carnival, community participation and outreach
has been as integral part of the celebration. Our Community Focus
program is dedicated to assisting non-profit agencies that serve
the needs of children. The combined efforts of Carnival, the Grand
Krewes and our dedicated volunteers provide an opportunity doe us
to make a positive and lasting impact the community. Children are
our future and Carnival has made a significant commitment to help
improve the quality of life of those in need.
Carnival
Memphis has donated in excess of $600,000 to local children's charities,
in the past eight years alone! This year the Children's Charity
Initiative will benefit:
Emanuel Episcopal Center
Neighborhood School, and
Uniteed Cerebal Palsy of the the Mid-South
Carnival
royalty, member of the Grand Krewes, the Royal Court, volunteers
and sponsors all participate in this outstanding program. The Grand
Krewes play a vital role in this program. Each Grand Krewe adopts
one of our recipients and raises money for them prior to Carnival
Week. They assist Carnival with the production of the Carnival Memphis 5K for Kids.
