Overview

Mission

Hill country rally for kids exists to raise awareness and support for children's charities in the Texas hill country area. Our yearly activities include a gala with a dinner and an auction, a barbeque cook off, a car and motorcycle show and we have a raffle for giveaways. We also have a gala every year where we raise money for the kids. We also support approximately 25 children's organizations a year. We decide who to support by a vote from board members amongst all of the organizations that enter for support using our website. The activities are conducted by board members and volunteers of our organization. The activities are conducted in Texas.

What it reported doing in 2024

Donated over 200,000 to 10 kids charities.
