What is Season for Caring

Each year, Austin American Statesman selects 12 deserving families to participate in their Season for Caring giving campaign. These families and individuals are selected from nominations sent in by local nonprofit organizations and have their needs and stories highlighted through a series of stories and videos, while collecting donations on their behalf.

This year, HAAM's nomination BJ Lentz was selected to be a part of the campaign. Read BJ's story here.
