The Austin Center for Grief & Loss celebrated 17 years of providing transformative therapy at the annual Holders of Hope gala hosted at UT’s Etter-Harbin Alumni Center. The splendid evening with over 180 guests was chaired by Jessica Owens with presenting sponsor Texas Oncology.

Guests enjoyed a sumptuous meal and delicious drinks. Live music by the Musical Discovery Chamber Players along with live poems by poet Violet Vela created a fun, but thoughtful atmosphere. The event featured a silent and live auction and a fund-a-need opportunity. The program included inspiring stories of courage, highlighting the Austin Grief mission's impact. This remarkable evening raised over $160,000 to support The Austin Center for Grief & Loss' mission of assisting adults, teens, and children moving through loss to life through support, therapy, education, and training throughout Central Texas, regardless of ability to pay.
