Every year Gambrinus members volunteer their time to visit retirement communities, assisted living centers, memory care centers and nursing homes to meet with the residents and share Mardi Gras beads with them.

Our members love to visit school classrooms to talk to the students about the traditions of Mardi Gras and engage the students in hands-on activities that allow them to experience throwing and catching beads, trying on mardi gras masks, and hats, learn the Second Line Dance, and sample King's Cake. School visits culminate with a parade down the hallway throwing beads to their classmates.
