Description

The 2023 Summer Shindig benefiting Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center brings together the fiercest advocates, volunteers, and supporters as we envision a community where people experiencing homelessness have innovative, whole-person solutions to address the whole-person trauma of being unsheltered. Last year, over 125 guests attended our first-ever weirdest little FUNraiser in Austin where together we raised over $65,000 that helped us serve more than 6,500 clients in 2022. During the event, you'll enjoy a VIP reception, delicious dinner, open bar, silent auction, live music, and short program featuring life-changing stories your support makes possible.
