2024 Children’s Charities

A Carnival Community Focus Program

The Carnival Memphis Children’s Charity Initiative (CCI) was developed in 1999 to assist those who improve the quality of life for children throughout the community. Each year different agencies are selected to receive funds raised by Carnival and the Grand Krewes of Carnival Memphis at fundraisers throughout the year. Since the inception of the CCI (a 501c3 non-profit), over $4,500,000 with matching funds has been donated to local children’s charities.

 

 

Binghampton Christian Academy is a private, Christian day and boarding school for students in Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grades within the Binghampton Community. Their mission is to develop students who honor and glorify God, promote spiritual and academic excellence, and encourage them to become productive, Godly leaders.
