He’s not guaranteed anything.

No offers. No spotlight. No promises.

Just a young man from New Orleans… showing up, putting himself in position, and chasing an opportunity to earn a scholarship at an HBCU.

This is the grind. This is the sacrifice.

This is why we do what we do.
Supporting our young men at St. Augustine isn’t just tradition...It’s responsibility.

From New Orleans to Atlanta… the mission is still the mission.

"Rise Sons" 💜💛✊🏽

✨ Calling All St. Augustine Alumni in Metro Atlanta! ✨

Something special is coming together, and we’d love for you to be part of it! 💜💛💙

Inspired by the incredible joint fellowship events held in Dallas–Fort Worth, St. Augustine brothers in metro Atlanta are hoping to reconnect with the St. Mary’s Academy Alumnae community to bring that same sense of camaraderie to our Atlanta alumni network.

We’re currently gauging interest for a joint alumni fellowship event in May 2026, a relaxed and welcoming opportunity to:

• Reconnect with familiar faces
• Enjoy great conversation and fellowship
• Build new professional friendships
• Strengthen bonds with our shared school families

Every year, we host our signature Mardi Gras Ball and call on the support of sponsors who believe in our mission and they continue to show up in a major way.

We are truly grateful for our long standing partners, KIA and 755 Restaurant Group, who continue to pour into our organization year after year. That kind of consistency does not go unnoticed.

This year, our liquor sponsors IslandJon Vodka, Reyalibre Tequila, Aplomo Tequila, and Greenwood Whiskey set the tone early with a tasting experience before the Ball even began. They did more than show up, they showed out.

Also, for your continued support over the past few years. Your partnership means a lot to us, and we truly appreciate all that you do.

We were also proud to welcome new sponsors Grady Health System and Camille Rose to the family. Thank you for aligning with our purpose and investing in what we do.

Special shoutout to Camille Rose for the gift bags. They made sure our guests did not leave empty handed. Thoughtful, classy, and right on brand.
Bottom line, this event does not happen without our sponsors.

If you support us and believe in our mission, we ask one thing. Support the brands that support us.

Now you know.

The photos from the St. Aug Mardi Gras Ball are in… and they are 🔥

Our 21st Annual Ball is officially in the books, and once again, it was a success. What could have been a major setback with the ice storm turned into a blessing in disguise. We were able to regroup, reschedule, and still deliver a powerful night that supports our mission to give back to St. Augustine High School in a big way.

That’s what resilience looks like.

It was a night to remember, and trust me—we’re already looking ahead. Planning for the 2027 Mardi Gras Ball will be kicking off sooner than you think.
So go ahead, enjoy the photos… and start getting ready. Next year will be here before you know it.

Stay tuned.

The moments are in… and trust us, it was a like a movie.

The Association of St Augustine Alumni Atlanta Chapter’s 21st Annual Mardi Gras Ball brought the energy, the elegance, and the unforgettable memories. The pictures are rolling in and there are a lot to go through, but we had to give you a sneak peek.

Take a look, relive the magic, and get ready… because there is plenty more on the way.

Stay tuned.

A few of us brothers from the St. Augustine Alumni Chapter here in Atlanta decided to link up at the Po’Boy Shop and grab a little gumbo, some crawfish, shrimp, and hot sausage po’boys. Just a quick catch-up and some good fellowship before the Ball.

We had Purple Knights in the house from the classes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Always good when the generations come together like that. Brotherhood, laughter, and a little taste of New Orleans right here in Atlanta. 💜💛
