Each year The Sirens of New Orleans proudly partner with a local charity, dedicating the net proceeds from our signature event—Mermaids & Mayhem—to support their meaningful work within our community. For the 2026 season, we’re thrilled to announce our chosen partner again with Beignet Fest Foundation. Beignet Fest Foundation's mission is to celebrate, embrace and empower the lives of children with autism and their families by making grants each year to support New Orleans-area programs that serve children with developmental delays.

In 2022 Beignet Fest Foundation in partnership with Children's Hospital New Orleans commissioned KultureCity to build Benny's Activiation Vehicle, which is fully equipped to provide a safe space of respite and decompression for individuals who may become overwhelmed from the sights, sounds and crowds at local events.

Last year, they were able to launch Camp Benny unique inclusive summer camp experience for NOLA children on the spectrum that is sensory friendly, structured with trained staff and programming that helps develop social skills and provide interactive experiences and learning opportunities.
