About the Foundation

"The Vessel Linking Those With Means to Those in Need"

We believe we are all God's children — and that joy, safety, and a great family day shouldn't depend on income, address, or background. NOIGILER Foundation brings family fun back to the forefront with affordable, inclusive, spiritually grounded community events.

Our Story

We believe we are all God's children — and every family deserves a great day.

NOIGILER Foundation was founded on a simple, spiritually grounded conviction: joy is not a luxury. We are all God's children — and every family deserves a safe, fun, memorable day, regardless of where they come from or what they're carrying right now.

Out of that conviction came The Beacon of Hopeaffordable family fun. It's our flagship summer initiative: inflatable water parks, bounce houses, and family days designed to land first in the neighborhoods that have gone the longest without one.

Family fun has gotten priced out of family budgets. NOIGILER Foundation brings it back to the forefront — running our own events as a nonprofit, charging only what's needed to keep the doors open, and putting the rest back into the neighborhood. We are radically inclusive: every family welcome, every story honored, no questions asked.

The model is simple: a $10 ticket gets a child a full day of slides, bounce houses, food, and games. Sponsors, donors, and in-kind gifts (including donated inflatables) close the gap. Every dollar above operating cost funds outreach, scholarships, and the next free community day.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) public charity headquartered in New Orleans. Our books are open. Our mission is durable. And our weekends are loud, sunny, and full of laughing kids.

We are proud to work in partnership with Breaking Bread Food Pantry and the New Orleans Angels.

Vision

A future where every family — regardless of income, background, or current circumstances — has access to safe, joyful, memory-making experiences that build healthier, more connected, more loving communities.

Our long-term plan is to bring affordable family events on the road — multiple cities, year-round programming, water-safety education, and youth scholarships. We grow only as fast as we can grow responsibly.

Scurlock Family Legacy

A backstory that shaped an industry.

Frances and John Scurlock are recognized as founders of the inflatable industry. They founded Space Walk and invented the Space Pillow, the first children's inflatable. Their family's inventions and creations have impacted more lives than Disney and Universal combined.

Core Values

What we will not compromise on.

All God's Children

We are spiritually grounded and radically inclusive. Every family is welcome — every background, every story, every season of life.

Family First

Every decision is filtered through one question: is this good for kids and the parents who love them?

Affordable Access

Cost should never decide which child gets to have a great summer. $10 all-day pricing is a promise, not a marketing tactic.

Safety Without Compromise

Trained staff, supervised attractions, weather protocols, and clean facilities — non-negotiable.

Transparency

Open books, public impact reports, and donor receipts you can hand to your accountant the same day.

Community Reinvestment

Revenue funds the next outreach program, the next scholarship, the next free day for a school in need.

"The Vessel Linking Those With Means to Those in Need"

We are spiritually grounded and radically inclusive — every family welcome, every story honored. The conviction at our core is grounded in scripture, and lived out in the way we run every event.

"Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse."
Proverbs 28:27
"If anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?"
1 John 3:17
501(c)(3) Tax-Deductible

Every $10 sends another kid to the splash park.

Donations are tax-deductible. 100% of contributions fund family events, scholarships, and outreach — never overhead bloat.
