Located at Highland Lanes our annual bowling marathon helps BBBS raise funds to make a positive, long-lasting impact on children in our community. This two-day, themed event brings almost 1,000 community members together to celebrate a weekend of camaraderie, fun and fundraising with 100% of the money raised going to match more children in Central Texas with the caring mentors they deserve.
The gem of Austin’s galas. Each year, this unforgettable evening makes a lifetime of difference for children and families in Central Texas. An elegant affair focused on raising funds to support more life-changing friendships between at-risk youth and caring adult mentors, the Ice Ball gala treats guests to cocktails, fine dining, live and silent auctions, dancing, music and more.
On Thursday, September 27th, 512ATX and Celis Brewery are hosting a 'NOTWORKING" happy hour event and mixer benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas. Every dollar raised will be donated to BBBS to help us serve more kids! For ages 21 and up only.
