I Live Here, I Give Here believes in amplifying the power of your generosity! Debuted in 2013, Amplify Austin Day is a 24-hour day of community-wide giving that provides an easy and fun way for our entire community to give together and help hundreds of non-profits that are meeting critical needs.
Last year, 498 non-profits participated in Amplify Austin. We expect 500 non-profits to participate in 2015. All of these organizations play an important role in making Central Texas a better place to life. Amplify Austin Day raises much needed funds for non-profits of all sizes, in all areas of service, and we leave the choosing to you. In the past 2 years, we have raised $8.5 million on Amplify Austin Day. You can schedule your donation for March 5-6, which will be amplified by incentive dollars during the day!

This was a huge hit last time, and we all had a blast! At the last event, you all had requested that we do the "Paint Your Own Pet" painting, and we listened! There will also be another painting option as well.
The first option is the "Paint Your Own Pet" painting. You are able to paint your own fur-baby! It is a 3 hour event (3pm-6pm) at the price of $55. The link below is where you can sign up to attend! Make sure to read all directions, as you have to email them a picture of your pet so they can sketch him or her prior to your arrival.
Both paintings will be painted at the same time, just one will be an hour longer and cost a little more. If you have never been to something like this, I would like to give you a little info. Before you arrive at the event, the staff at Painting with a Twist will have your picture sketched out for you. There is a skilled instructor who goes through the painting with you. So whether you are a skilled painter or don't have an artistic bone in your body like me, it is a lot of fun!
Feel free to bring your own beverage (can be alcohol if 21 and up) and/or snack while we sit and paint to raise money for CTDR. CTDR gets back 30% of all sales!
Come join CTDR and others at the 6th Annual Puppy Mill Awareness Day at Scholz Beer Garten, in the heart of downtown Austin, Tx. All of San Jacinto Blvd. will be closed down for this event.
