Hashtag to Give

Black Friday...lines conquered.  Small Business Saturday...boutiques shopped.  Sleeping Sunday...still wishing.  Cyber Monday...fingers exhausted.  All of this was really just a prep class of sorts for the best day of all - #GivingTuesday.  A few years ago some pretty forward thinking folks decided that the antidote to the consumerism that has enveloped us for the past 4 days, and will likely be the focus for the next few weeks, is a day to give.  Genius I think.

Why give to the Lake Travis Education Foundation?  Simple - you live here.  Your kids, your neighbors kids, your co-workers kids all go to school here.  Regardless of the side of the fence you prefer when it comes to school finance and the Texas State Legislature, the fact is all of our children deserve a great education.  All of our teachers need the supplies and programs to keep our children on the cutting edge of education and learning so they are prepared for the new world that waits for them.

How should you give?  Any way you want.  Buy tickets to our Gala in March, become a Friend of the Foundation and make a monetary gift, purchase a Visual Bliss art book to give this holiday season.  No matter how you choose to give, know that your contribution will go directly to the Lake Travis Independent School District to help fund programs and projects that might otherwise never happen.

#GivingTuesday - guaranteed to make your heart smile without fatiguing your feet, making your eyes red or dealing with only three lanes open in a store with 24 registers and lines to the back of the store. Thank you, and happy giving!
