You’re invited to enjoy toe-tappin’ great tunes for a good cause! Head on out to Taste 2018. Happening Thursday, October 18, at The Railhouse in Kyle, Texas,  Taste 2018 is a fundraising event for the United Way of Hays and Caldwell Counties. Their fall fundraising campaign is essential to the organization’s success, and it focuses on the month of October being “Live United Month.” Integral to that campaign is the Taste event, now in its 9th year and looking bigger and better than ever.

This year’s entertainment headliner is Rick Trevino, Grammy award-winning country music artist (and Texan!). Holly Tucker, a former contestant on “The Voice,” will also be delighting the crowd. With talent like that, the fundraiser promises to be a big success. However, they can’t fulfill that promise without the support of their partners, sponsors, and guests! Tickets for this event are available on the UWHCC website at the link provided here, or by texting “uwhays taste” to the number 313131 (which takes you to the purchase link via phone). At a cost of $75 per person or $140 per couple, they’re well worth it! Featuring taste selections from over 15 different restaurants, an auction with more than 75 luxury items, and top-billed entertainment such as Trevino and Tucker, this event will be the talk of the Texas Hill Country for some time to come!

With 18 partner programs and four internal programs, the United Way of Hays and Caldwell Counties has a community impact which is unmatched in the Kyle and San Marcos area. The number of individuals and families their programs service is upwards of 50,000, with an emphasis on health, education, and financial stability. The organization partners with non-profit agencies and programs throughout all of their communities in an effort to ensure Hill Country families have what they need to live happy, healthy, and successful lives.

Those who would like to donate to the United Way of Hays and Caldwell Counties can do so via their website at the link provided here, as well as at one of their fundraising events. Money raised through the fall campaign will replenish the organization’s general fund, which provides much-needed dollars for each of their partner and internal programs. The lives of neighbors and friends are impacted in the most positive ways when Texas communities come together to support the type of programs that the United Way produces. Giving to their fall fundraising campaign or attending Taste 2018 ensures that community benefits. The United Way of Hays and Caldwell Counties invites you to help them continue their good work!
