As many of you know, The BIG Give was this past Sunday night at the W Hotel and to put it lightly it was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came out and helped to create such an outstanding event.
With well over 300 attendees, I Live Here, I Give Here surpassed its fundraising goals and set a new record. The team is getting excited to start next year’s BIG Give planning and to hopefully exceed another goal!
With great music from Floyd Domino and Donna Hightower, a stellar silent auction, delicious treats and a fun photo booth, we can safely say that our guests had a great time, as did we. It was a joy to celebrate with charitable and engaged Austinites!
The third year of The BIG Give happened to be the “Year of the Dog” with Animal Trustees of Austin winning the Whole Foods BIG Prize of ten thousand dollars, and Divine Canines winning the Heritage Title Company Little Prize of five thousand dollars. Both nonprofit organizations demonstrated their skills in cultivating donor relationships and rallying their supporters to their respective causes. Excellent job!
A special thank you goes out to Ronda Gray, our BIG Giver who has been incredibly active in helping children’s causes across central Texas. Drawing on her passion for children she founded Camp On The Move and went on to create the Camp On The Move Foundation.
