Mardi Gras Magic: Get Ready for Our 5th Annual Dinner Under the Stars

Every child deserves moments of magic—those unforgettable nights that make them feel like royalty. At Vashti, we go beyond providing care—we create opportunities for joy, celebration, and belonging. This June, we’re rolling out the purple, green, and gold carpet for a night of sparkle and significance. Our 5th Annual Dinner Under the Stars will transform our campus into a Mardi Gras Masquerade, hosted exclusively for the incredible youth in our residential foster care program. These teens live full-time on our Thomasville campus through our Room, Board & Watchful Oversight program, and many have overcome unimaginable hardship. This night is our way of showing them they are seen, celebrated, and loved.
