As we approach Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of our incredible restaurant partners. You help make experiences like this possible! On October 20th, these amazing businesses came together to help us celebrate 25 years of serving Central Texas children and families. Each year, they generously donate their time, talent, and resources—out of the goodness of their hearts—because they believe in our mission and want to make a difference. It’s because of their unwavering support that our Light a Path event is the memorable experience it is, and we’re so thankful for their dedication to our cause. This Thanksgiving, we are especially grateful for these partners who give so much love and support to our work and our community. You make everything we do possible.

Happy 25th Birthday, Candlelight Ranch! On November 11, 1999, our journey began thanks to the incredible vision and dedication of Jeri, Don and Randy Barr. What started as a dream to connect children and families with nature has grown into a haven of healing, discovery, and joy for thousands of children of all abilities. Jeri's heartfelt vision was to create a space where kids facing challenges could experience the transformative power of the outdoors. With the Barr family’s unwavering support, Candlelight Ranch became a place where nature heals, bonds are strengthened, and every child can thrive. We are deeply grateful to the Barr Family for making this dream a reality. Your passion and generosity have impacted countless lives over the past 25 years, and we are honored to continue this journey together. Here's to many more years of making memories, building resilience, and inspiring hope!

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country. At Candlelight Ranch, we’re grateful to support military families through our Military Families in Nature program, where the healing power of nature fosters peace, connection, and renewal. Thank you to all Military personnel and their families for your service and sacrifice.
