Thank you for participating in our Eighth Annual Dinner with Friends, benefiting Friends of the Children Austin! The funds raised from this event directly support Friends Austin's mission to break the cycle of generational poverty. We do this by pairing children facing the greatest vulnerabilities with professional, salaried, full-time, bilingual mentors, called "Friends", from kindergarten through high school graduation, for 12+ years, no matter what. You are helping to change the lives of the 225 children we serve today and the many more we are working to reach.
