CARY It Forward – “light the path for a brighter future!”

CARY is proud to host our sixth annual “CARY It Forward” event! Join us as we celebrate the success of our students and honor those who help CARY continue its mission.

Enjoy a fantastic evening with a wonderful cocktail hour with music by the Akins High School Mariachi Band, delicious food from Eldorado Cafe, entertainment by Austin’s own Blakchyl, and an exciting silent auction. We are also honored to present the CARY It Forward Award to the Henry Opolot for his incredible contributions to our mission.

Why Attend?
Proceeds from this event directly support CARY (Council on At-Risk Youth) in our mission to keep Central Texas students in school and out of the school-to-prison pipeline through life skills training and counseling. Together, we can make a lasting impact and inspire a brighter future for every child!
