myPortfolio™: Cause To Celebrate
“Keeping the light on YOU.”


Founded: 2009
Location: Austin, TX
Our vision is to bring together Austin businesses and charitable causes creating a thriving support driven community dedicated to improving people's lives.
Cause to Celebrate is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting Austin businesses and charities through unique and exciting events. Founded by diverse women who embrace Austin’s entrepreneurial spirit, Cause to Celebrate strives to inspire its community by helping others and ensuring the continued success of its local visionaries.
Our debut event, “Spring Bling: benefiting LifeWorks” raised over $7800 in revenue with over 200 guests in attendance. This exclusive evening of springtime cocktails, food & fun was hosted at The Madison and included a fashion show featuring local boutique Estilo, tasty seasonal treats from Botticelli’s, a silent auction, and give-aways.
The C2C sophomore event, “Summer of ’69 Social: benefiting SuperHeroes for SafePlace”, was an awareness builder/membership drive. This hip happy hour, hosted at The Belmont, gave our guests the opportunity to learn about and join the newest young professional volunteer group. Everyone had fun dressing up in Hog Wild & Blue Velvet Vintage for Trevor Ray Thompson’s photo booth! Tito’s Vodka provided complimentary cocktails, and there was no cover to attend.
I think the Cause to Celebrate Event was a great success. Congratulations to you and your friends for organizing such a fantastic event. I am already looking forward to the next one....

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you "GREAT JOB" on your charity event/fashion show!!! I was totally impressed and entertained! The auction was really cool too...lots of nice pieces from local artists/vendors! I think you covered every aspect and detail of a great event! Keep up the great work and be sure to invite me to your next event!
Justin Caudill, Austin City Living
Please pass along my thanks and thanks from our agency for last night...I want to say as a fundraising professional to pull that off in less than 8 weeks is fantastic. I hope your dedicated group of women feel very proud.
Apart from the financial success, you raised awareness about LifeWorks and helped educate your guests on the issues our clients face, and you created a group of people that know you can party and create successful events.
LifeWorks was honored to be a part of this inaugural event and hope we have the opportunity to partner in the future.

Cause to Celebrate wants to engage anyone and everyone that’s passionate about giving back. Email us, we would love to talk to you about sharing your talents, event volunteering, event sponsorships, ideas that engage others, or bring attention to causes that feed the fire in your heart. Whatever your passion, however you want to give back, we want to hear from you.
The opportunities we are presenting to sponsors, donors, partners, and attendees are vast. Sponsors will not only get name recognition in print, online and at the event, they will also receive “special treatment” at our event. From name and business recognition to product promotion, donors will benefit from increased exposure in the community. Our partners for each respective event can expect to be “seen, heard, and experienced” by Austin’s finest!
Cause to Celebrate’s extensive Austin network includes the “cream of the crop” when it comes to hip, vibrant, generous and successful business leaders and professionals. This amazing group of individuals embraces the uniqueness of our city and faithfully supports Austin’s local businesses with unwavering generosity. Garnering the attention and admiration of these professionals is a tremendous benefit for anyone involved in Cause to Celebrate events.
In addition to supporting local businesses, everyone involved with Cause to Celebrate will also be honoring the community. Each event will raise awareness and funds for a local charity. Whether you’re participating as a donor, sponsor or attendee, your contributions will be making a significant positive impact on the Austin community.
