You’re Simply the Best | An Evening of Celebration

Saturday, September 19, 2026
6:00 PM – Midnight | The Castine Center, Mandeville, LA

Step into the spotlight for an unforgettable evening at the 8th Annual Polka Dots & Pearls Ball and Charity Auction, sponsored by Keesler Federal Credit Union — our signature fundraising celebration!

This season, we’re honoring DIVAS — the icons, the voices, the confidence, and the unforgettable women who know how to command a stage. This year’s event theme, You’re Simply the Best, brings that Diva energy to our biggest night of the year as we celebrate the incredible supporters, community partners, friends, and family who make everything we do possible.

What to Expect

• Live on Stage – Dance the night away with Category 6, bringing the powerhouse vocals, nonstop energy, and show-stopping performance worthy of a night dedicated to DIVAS.
• Savory Bites – Enjoy delicious tasting portions from some of the Northshore’s most popular restaurants.
• Silent Auction – Shop our silent auction packed with fabulous finds, experiences, and treasures for the whole family — all while supporting an incredible cause, Family REACH Alliance.
• Entertainment – Enjoy performances from the Mande Milkshakers, including the exciting debut of our newest members.

Our Cause

This year, 100% of Silent Auction proceeds will benefit Family REACH Alliance, an organization that guides homeless and low-income families toward sustainable independence through resources, education, and advocacy. The organization provides food, shelter, support services, and guidance to families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, while engaging the community in creating lasting solutions to poverty.

Why Attend?

Known for bringing a little extra wherever we go, the Mande Milkshakers invite you to dress up, show up, and celebrate a night of Fun, Friendship, Fitness, and Philanthropy at our capstone fundraising event of the year.

Because when it comes to our supporters, our community, and giving back…YOU’RE SIMPLY THE BEST!
