Mark Your Calendar! March 1, 2018! 24 Hours of Giving!

We’re excited that Amplify 2018 is just around the corner. Amplify ATX is a 24 hour fundraising event that encourages the Austin, TX community to donate to their favorite nonprofits and other great organizations. With your help, we can make our total fundraising goal of $25,000 this year.
