12th Annual Light the Path Fundraiser 2026

Join CPATH Texas for the 12th Annual Light The Path Fundraiser on Thursday, September 24, 2026 at Fairmont Austin for “Downtown Austin Date Night” that celebrates our CP community!

Join CPATH Texas for our  12th Annual Light The Path Fundraiser on Thursday, September 24, 2026 from 7-10PM at the beautiful Fairmont Austin. 

 

This year’s theme, Downtown Austin Date Night, invites guests to enjoy an unforgettable evening in the heart of our capital city while celebrating a mission that changes lives across Central Texas.

 

Light The Path is CPATH Texas’s signature fundraising event and the driving force behind our ability to provide free programs and services to individuals and families living with cerebral palsy. From adaptive recreation and family grants to educational resources and meaningful community connection, the funds raised during this event directly sustain the work happening all year long.

 

Guests will enjoy an elegant night out featuring delicious bites, open bar, inspiring stories from our guest speakers, exciting raffle and live auction opportunities, and a room filled with community members who believe in accessibility, inclusion, and hope.

 

This event is made possible by the generosity of our sponsors, whose support ensures that CPATH Texas can continue removing barriers and creating opportunities for the CP community at no cost to families.

 

Whether you attend as a guest, sponsor, or supporter, your presence at Light The Path helps us continue building a Central Texas community where individuals with cerebral palsy are seen, supported, and celebrated.

 

Come spend your evening with us in Downtown Austin, and help us Light The Path forward.
