Lafayette’s Most Delicious Fundraiser Is Back for Summer 2025
(Lafayette, Louisiana) - Another year of delicious martinis awaits everyone as Healing House is once again hosting the Tini Tuesday Tour (Martinis 2025 Lafayette's Best Martini Competition) to support the hundreds of children in their programs. The motto is "Hope for Grieving Children."
Eight restaurants are competing in this year's competition, and each Tuesday, one restaurant will be featured. The best part is that you can go to any of the restaurants right now to taste their signature martini.
The Tito's Tini Tuesday Tour Pays The Bills For Healing House
The services provided to children at Healing House are free of charge, thanks to this fundraiser.
This fundraiser helps Healing House provide grief support to hundreds of children in our area who have been impacted by the death of one of their parents or a sibling. Imagine having to grapple with this issue without help? Healing House also provides a time for the parents of these children to gather.
Each person who the program can touch is allowed to grieve their loss with other individuals who understand what they are going through. Young children have age-appropriate peers who are in groups designed to help them with their grief.
In addition, Healing House has Anticipatory Loss Services, meaning that for those families who know that someone will die, they can begin the process of helping these children.
If you think Healing House will never have an impact within your child's lifetime, you might be surprised to know the statistics:
The Healing House Has A Tragedy Response Team
The Tragedy Response Team, part of Healing House, can assist if a situation affects children in a school, church, or other similar setting. The team takes a professional approach and goes off-site to help these children.
The Tito's Tini Tuesday Tour is an eight-week campaign where anyone can visit one of the participating restaurants to try one of their signature martinis created for this Tito's Tour.
During each restaurant's week, be sure to stop by on Tuesday, when you can purchase an entrée for just $4 and enjoy their signature martini. The $4 will go to Healing House, so that all the money raised in Acadiana stays in Acadiana. This fundraising event benefits so many families.
In addition, you can donate to Healing House just by voting for one of the martinis for this year's Best Martini. Every vote, whether cast through the code or donated at each restaurant or the Gala, will contribute to that restaurant's chance of winning the Best Martini award.
The man who created the design for this year's signature martini glass is local artist Dirk Guidry.
Guidry is originally from Galliano, Louisiana, but the visual artist now resides in Lafayette. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2012.
There will also be a drawing for a beautiful ring, especially crafted by Dianna Rae, for this event. The gala will also feature a variety of auction items. For more information, you can visit healing-house.org.
