Hillside Early Childhood Center is gearing up for its annual fundraising event, Hillside Under the Stars, scheduled for Friday, May 1st. This event, critical for funding Hillside’s operations and scholarship programs, will feature classroom tours, live music, a picnic dinner, drinks, and a silent auction against the backdrop of the Austin skyline. Hillside stands out in its community for its top-rated programming and dedicated staff & teachers. Fundraising is essential to cover the costs of its exceptional educational environment and staff, beyond what tuition covers, ensuring accessibility for families of all economic backgrounds. Hillside depends on the community to engage with fundraising efforts like this event to help reach our goal.
