Sunshine Camps is an Austin-based organization dedicated to engaging and empowering youth through education and outdoor experiences.
In 1928, The Young Men's Business League (YMBL) of Austin recognized the serious community threat of youth tuberculosis and established the Austin YMBL Summer Sunshine Camps in Zilker Park, as it was said that exposure to sunshine could promote healing from the disease.
The park provided a space in which local economically disadvantaged children could gain weight, grow strong and spend time outdoors. Today, Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps (ASC) is still serving youth living near or below the poverty line.
Our programs enrich the community by encouraging and facilitating the power to succeed through education and healthy living. Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps renders the space and comfort kids need to look beyond their current situation and dream big.
This holiday season, we encourage others to donate to children in need. Please visit LiveGreystarATX.com to contact a participating location at a Greystar property nearest to you and ask to fulfill specific items on a child's wish list.
If you're a fan of fine spirits, then you won't want to miss your chance to taste several craft-boozy creations at Brandy Blues'n BBQ at Freedmen's. Featuring brandy by Copper & Kings, a Kentucky based distillery, this night of drinking and eating reflects the good old-fashioned Southern tradition of booze, blues, and barbecue.
It focuses on the various types of American Brandy that Copper & Kings creates. When you walk in, you'll receive a taste of aged apple brandy. As you sip, listen to a brand expert share the nuances of American Craft and Butchertown Brandy, and then enjoy a cocktail that features even more fine spirits. You can drink it alongside a heaping plate of fresh barbecue. Save some room, though, because the evening culminates in dessert and special after-dinner mixed drinks.
