Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas Presents: Night Under the Stars

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas is holding its annual fundraiser, A Night Under the Stars, on Thursday, October 29, at The Long Center for the Performing Arts. It's an outdoor social on the H-E-B Terrace, running from 4 PM to 10 PM, and it doubles as a volunteer opportunity: if you sign up to help, they'll train you when you arrive, and they ask that you wear business casual.

The evening is built around a social, open-air format. There are local food trucks on site, and food and drinks are complimentary. The program includes a performance by Take Note from the Austin Gay Men's Chorus, DJ sets by Chulita Vinyl Club, and a photo experience by Flash Party Photo Booth. Olympic champion and advocate Jackie Joyner-Kersee will also make a special guest appearance.

Part of the night is dedicated to the Robbie and Tom Ausley Leadership Award, which recognizes leadership within the organization's mission. This year, the award goes to Donna Carter and Michael Gagarin.

It's a long stretch of an evening—six hours from 4 PM to 10 PM—so you've got plenty of time to move between the music, the food, and the awards. The Long Center is at 701 W Riverside Dr in Austin.
