Margarita Madness 2026 Was a Night to Remember

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, supporters, and community

This year’s Margarita Madness was truly a night to remember.

Held in beautiful South Padre Island, this special evening brought together supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and community members for a meaningful night filled with joy, generosity, and purpose. From the energy in the room to the incredible support shown throughout the evening, Margarita Madness 2026 was more than just an event. It was a celebration of community, compassion, and commitment to the children and families we serve.

At Children’s Advocacy Centers of Cameron and Willacy Counties, we are deeply grateful to every person who attended, donated, sponsored, volunteered, and helped make this event such a success. Because of your support, we are able to continue providing hope, healing, and advocacy for children in our community.

A Night of Purpose and Community

Margarita Madness was filled with heart from beginning to end. It was wonderful to see so many people come together in support of a cause that matters so deeply. Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship secured, every raffle entry, and every act of generosity helped strengthen our mission.

What made the evening so special was not only the beautiful setting or the fun atmosphere. It was the people. It was the shared belief that children in Cameron and Willacy Counties deserve safety, support, and a place where healing can begin.

Every dollar raised through this event stays local and helps support the children and families we serve right here at home.
