🌟 2023 Austin Gives Awards Recap 🌟

The 2023 Austin Gives Awards luncheon was a huge success! Thanks to the high energy, sold-out crowd, we packed the Four Seasons ballroom to celebrate the purpose-driven work of 27 very deserving generous businesses. We hope you were inspired by the dynamic speakers and stories. Many thanks to St. David's HealthCare, St. David's Foundation, and all of our generous sponsors for making the event possible.
