Hello,
We are excited to present an exclusive opportunity for your organization to become a Sponsor of our upcoming Mardi Gras 2025 Celebration. Keynote speaker – Damon West (“Arguably the most in-demand speaker in America” by USA Today.)

Share Ministries
MAD (Making A Difference)
Break ‘Em Off Ministry
Share Ministries, serving the underserved in Grayson County since 1985, through their Food Bank, Food Pantry, and Sunday mission outreach, provide food to over 2,000 individuals and families each month. Additionally, they distribute food weekly to 40 food pantries, soup kitchens, and churches. As the only communities’ Food Bank, their reach and impact are unparalleled.
MAD (Making A Difference) supports the children of our Veterans who suffer from PTSD. They offer martial arts training along with financial, spiritual, and emotional support. By creating and hosting, they help fellow martial arts instructors with events. Each MAD instructor is equipped to reach hundreds of children of veterans in their respective communities, fostering resilience and unity.
Break ‘Em Off Ministry assists men and women adapting to society after incarceration. They provide housing and discipleship for recently released inmates. In their perspective communities, their future goals include creating a 9-month residential program called “Recovery Ranch” that will teach, train, and encourage former inmates to live a new life dedicated to Christ.
This extraordinary event promises to be an unforgettable experience that will not only change lives but also offer your brand Supreme visibility and a unique connection with a diverse and engaged audience.
