Carrying Hope was elated, humbled and absolutely inspired by the impact of our third annual Winter Holiday Bash! Despite all of the hardships that 2020 brought, our supporters came together to ensure that 250 foster children in Central Texas and across the state woke up on Christmas morning with amazing presents.  Special thanks to the Long Center for providing us outdoor space at their iconic venue for the second year in a row with incredibly safe COVID-19 protocols; to Aneta Hayne Photography and Casey Chapman-Ross for their fabulous photography skills; and to our board for their tireless work behind the scenes.
