Remembering the days of Alternative, Aquanet and actual music on MTV is the theme of the Austin Children's Shelter’s New Wave Ball, an 80s dance party. This is the event for anyone who loves the music, fashion and fads of this totally awesome decade. The party includes a gnarly costume contest and rad dance contest with local celebrity judges, music by DJ Christian Barbuto and DJ Big Rich, an awesome auction plus full cash bar. Party to the max!

A large portion of our fundraising will come from Sponsorships with opportunities starting at $500.

The Austin Children's Shelter has provided emergency shelter, high quality care and hope for the future to the abandoned, abused and neglected children of our community for more than 25 years. The Shelter’s services and programs are designed to reduce the emotional trauma suffered by child victims of abuse and neglect in a safe and nurturing environment. In October 2009, ACS opened its new campus to serve more children and provide expanded programs to better meet the needs of children and youth in its care. Through these programs and nurturing care, ACS lays a foundation of hope for the future of the children it serves. For more information, visit the website at http://www.austinchildrenshelter.org.
