Beignet Fest Foundation works year-round to support children on the autism spectrum. Beyond the annual Beignet Fest, the foundation funds programs like adaptive swim lessons at YMCA of Greater New Orleans, an inclusive sailing camp on Lake Pontchartrain with Community Sailing New Orleans and an arts camp with art therapists at Upturn Arts.
Beignet Fest Foundation also introduced its own Sensory Activation Vehicle this year to provide a calming, interactive space at large-scale events for those who may become overwhelmed. You can support Beignet Fest Foundation with an online donation, and be on the lookout for more on Beignet Fest!
