March 4–Save the Date for #AmplifyATX!

We are proud to be participating in a big day of giving in our home base of Austin, Texas!
In just three short weeks, we’re joining 300+ nonprofits in the Capital City to raise at least $1 million for the organizations that make Austin, and Texas, great. Amplify Austin is a 24-hour day of giving, and we’d love for YOU to join us on that day by contributing to CPPP so we can continue making Texas a better place for all of us!
