What we're about

A charitable krewe with a giving heart.

We come together through parades, social events, and community gatherings to raise meaningful funds for the ALS Association Collins Equipment Fund — supporting families in our community living with ALS.

Fundraising for ALS

Our chosen charity is the ALS Association Collins Equipment Fund. Every event, every parade, every ball — we're raising money to put vital equipment in the hands of local families fighting ALS.

Parades & Pageantry

We roll in Mardi Gras season and seasonal parades throughout the greater Pensacola area aboard our float, The Green Mistress.

Social Calendar

Monthly gatherings, family-friendly events, and our signature Shamrock-n-Roll Mardi Gras Ball — a themed formal celebration each year where members come dressed to the nines or dressed to the theme.

Our Chosen Charity

ALS Collins Equipment Fund

ALS — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the nerve cells controlling muscle movement. It is always fatal, and the journey from diagnosis to the end is measured in years, not decades. Caring for a person living with ALS can cost more than $250,000 per year in equipment and care alone.

The ALS Association Florida Chapter's Equipment Loan Program provides temporary loaner durable medical equipment — wheelchairs, power lifts, transport chairs, ramps — to Florida residents with a verified ALS diagnosis who are uninsured, underinsured, or waiting for insurance approval. The program ensures that no one has to wait for a walker or a wheelchair because of paperwork or finances.

The Collins Equipment Fund is a dedicated fund within the Florida Chapter's Equipment Loan Program. Named to honor the legacy of those who have fought ALS, it provides direct financial support to keep the Equipment Loan Program running — ensuring that critical durable medical equipment stays available to families who need it most, regardless of their insurance situation.

Who it servesFlorida residents with a verified ALS diagnosis who are uninsured, underinsured, or waiting on insurance approval.
What it providesWheelchairs, power lifts, transport chairs, ramps, and other durable medical equipment — loaned at no cost.
Where it operatesStatewide across Florida, with partners Ability Medical and Numotion managing equipment inventory throughout the state.
Our Signature Fundraising Event

The CEO Soak

Inspired by the iconic ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the CEO Soak is one of the ALS Association's premier fundraising events — and the Krewe of St. Patrick is proud to participate.

The CEO Soak challenges community and business leaders to get soaked — whether in a fountain, a pool, a dunk tank, or with a bucket of ice water over the head — in exchange for fundraising pledges from employees, colleagues, and the public. It's part networking event, part community spectacle, and entirely for a good cause.

The event is designed to engage businesses and their teams. Participants register as a Soakee (the executive who gets soaked) or a Soaker (an employee or supporter who raises money to see their Soakee get drenched). Companies compete for bragging rights on who raises the most — turning friendly competition into real dollars for ALS research, care services, and equipment programs like the Collins Fund.

How to get involvedRegister as a Soakee, rally your team as Soakers, or donate to an existing participant's fundraising page.
The goalEach participating company aims to raise at least $2,500. Every dollar funds ALS research, care services, and equipment programs.
The traditionCEO Soaks are held across the country. Inspired by the Ice Bucket Challenge, the event has raised millions for ALS since its launch.
