Welcome to Light a Path

An unforgettable evening where community, cuisine, and compassion come together to help Central Texas children and families learn, explore, and heal through nature.
Guests will enjoy chef-crafted bites from our incredible culinary partners, handcrafted cocktails, immersive experiences, meaningful storytelling, and thoughtfully designed live and silent auctions — all benefiting Candlelight Ranch’s year-round nature-based programs for children with disabilities, military families, youth in foster care, and others facing significant physical, emotional, and socioeconomic challenges across Central Texas.
Hosted by Chet Garner of The Daytripper, this special evening will bring together many of our incredible community and corporate partners in support of a brighter future for the children and families we serve.
At Candlelight Ranch, nature becomes a place where children discover confidence they did not know they had, families reconnect, and participants experience the peace, wonder, and empowerment the outdoors so freely provides.
Together, we can help light the path toward healing, resilience, belonging, and lifelong connection to nature.
You can learn more about the impact we’ve made since our last event here.
