7th Annual Austin Originals Benefit Concert & Live Stream featuring
Bob Schneider on August 18, 2018 are now available!

The Austin Originals Benefit Concert at ACL Live at the Moody Theater
brings together community leaders and supporters of ACGC.

This year, Casey McPherson of Alpha Rev will debut
an original composition dedicated to ACGC's Growth Campaign .
Terry Lickona will be our event emcee and the Phyllis Richards Austin Icon for Children Award will be presented to two outstanding individuals.

The evening features a live and silent auction and the Austin Originals Tasting Grove with food bites from local Austin favorites and a performance by James Junius . 

With your help, each year the event raises thousands of dollars in support of
children’s mental health, so all children have equal access to quality mental health services regardless of their ability to pay.
