Bayou Billie's Clan #144 Presents $40,000 to Shriners Children’s Texas

Galveston, TX. - The Affiliate Groups of Arabia continue to prove that fellowship and philanthropy go hand in hand. Among these dedicated groups, Bayou Billies Clan #144 stands out as a shining example of commitment to the mission of Arabia. Following an extremely successful Feztival of Trees during the Christmas season, the Bayou Billies once again demonstrated what can be accomplished through teamwork, creativity, and a heart for service. On February 15th, members of the clan proudly presented a $40,000 check to Shriners Children’s Texas. The Feztival of Trees has become more than just a holiday tradition — it is a powerful reminder of why we gather, why we serve, and why we work tirelessly throughout the year. Through sponsorships, beautifully decorated trees, community engagement, and generous supporters, the Bayou Billies turned holiday spirit into life-changing impact for the children and families served by Shriners. Their efforts directly support the mission of Shriners Children’s: providing world-class pediatric specialty care regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Every dollar raised represents hope, healing, and opportunity for children in Texas and beyond. Arabia is blessed with clubs and units that understand the importance of both fellowship and purpose. The Bayou Billies Clan #144 exemplifies what it means to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
