Join us as we escape into Austin Sunshine Camps! πŸŽ™οΈ We're excited to welcome David Roberts, Chief Development Officer at Austin Sunshine Camps, to the conversation! Austin Sunshine Camps creates life-changing experiences by offering the joy of overnight campβ€”completely free for kids who need it most. With 90% of campers coming from low-income families and many in foster care, ASC provides a safe space to build resilience, form lasting friendships, and simply be kidsβ€”all while fostering confidence, connection, and big dreams for the future.

3 incredible ways Austin Sunshine Camps makes an impact: β›Ί Free Summer Camps – Overnight camp experiences for youth ages 8–15 at no cost, focused on fun, growth, and connection. 🧑 Community & Belonging – Campers learn to build healthy relationships and feel empowered in a space where they are celebrated. 🌟 Counselors-in-Training – Leadership opportunities for teens 16–17 to build skills and give back as future camp mentors.

How to get involved & earn some bragging rights: πŸ“… May 4th – H-E-B Austin Sunshine Run – Run, walk, or cheer at the H-E-B Austin Sunshine Run! 10K, 5K, Tomlinson's Fastest Dog in Austin, Kids K, and virtual options. πŸ‘‰ Register here: https://www.austinsunshinerun.com/

🌞 Become a Sunshine Keeper – Commit to a monthly or annual gift to help send more kids to camp. Every dollar creates more moments of joy, friendship, and growth.
