Party with a Purpose
The mission of The Grand Krewe of Ptolemy is Good friends. Great times. Giving back. This Krewe is one of the Grand Krewes of Carnival Memphis. Since our inception in 2000, we've raised the bar on fun, as well as over $1 million for children's charities and service organizations in the area!
2024 Carnival Children’s Charities
The Grand Krewe of Ptolemy is committed to furthering the goals and ideals of Carnival Memphis. We are dedicated to giving back to the Memphis community through our philanthropic activities and support of Carnival Memphis Children’s Charities.
We fully support the children’s charities chosen each year by participating in Carnival’s Krewes for Kids event and hosting two annual fundraisers: Poker Run in the Fall and Bingo in January. Our Philanthropy Chair also sets up various volunteer and charity opportunities for our members throughout the year.
