Celebrating 15 Sweet Years of The Gingerbread Stroll 🍬🏡

The Gingerbread Stroll marked its 15th anniversary in 2025 with another inspiring season of community generosity. Thanks to the incredible support of local residents, artisans, and businesses, the event raised more than $33,000, with 100% of proceeds going directly to charity.

Since its beginning, The Gingerbread Stroll has contributed over $330,000 to help children in need across Dallas County, with the majority benefiting Community Partners of Dallas, supporting abused and neglected children.

Fifteen years strong, this beloved tradition continues to bring neighbors together to make a meaningful difference—one sweet stroll at a time. 💙

Eight talented students — Caleigh England, Lydia England, Jamie Gross, Ashley Jones, Nate Lovasz, Ben McDanald, Joshua Wen, and Team Captain Adam Harper — are the heart and soul behind Peruna IX, SMU’s beloved live mascot. From running the Peruna Run after touchdowns to leading the Mustang Walk Parade, making appearances on The Boulevard, and even attending other sports events, these Handlers ensure Peruna brings Mustang spirit everywhere he goes.

Peruna IX, an 18-year-old miniature black stallion, has been a symbol of SMU pride since 1932. With care and dedication from the Martin family and the Handler Team, Peruna continues to dazzle fans at every game — including trips to ACC playoffs!

The Handlers train tirelessly, grooming, harnessing, and transporting Peruna while balancing their studies, athletics, and leadership roles. Their diverse talents and passion for SMU spirit make every game day unforgettable.
