Side by Side Kids is the only free faith-based after school program serving elementary-aged students in one of Austin's toughest, most under-resourced areas where many kids have no supervision or safe place to go after the bell rings. 

We provide personalized tutoring, a healthy meal, recreational activities, and a time of character formation with a curriculum designed to meet the students' social and emotional needs. Our hope is to transform the lives of our students by providing them a brighter future as we encourage and equip them to reach their highest God-given potential. Our ministry’s mission is to inspire and equip kids in East Austin to be excellent students, make wise choices, and follow Christ.

We are seeking donations for our live auction for our upcoming 4th Annual Heart of a Lion Fundraiser benefiting Side by Side Kids on October 13, 2022 at the Omni Pavilion, Barton Creek Resort. The highlight of the night is the live auction! This is your chance to help impact the lives of the children that we serve, while getting your organization's name in front of hundreds. We will highlight your name in our newsletter, social media, and before our guests at the event.

Please consider donating anything your company would see fit that would go to being a part of our “Austin Attraction” package during our live auction.

 The event hosts prominent guests including business and community leaders from the Greater Austin Metropolitan Area. You will find more information about sponsorship levels and recognition on our event website at  https://www.sidebysidekids.org/events-new/heart-of-a-lion/
