At SeeSaw Austin, we know that we live in a great city when it comes to the amazing array of non-profit organizations that keep Austin fed, educated, housed, etc. Most of us either work for, volunteer for, (or do both for) a variety of local charities, and we wanted to make sure that they received the recognition and coverage that they deserve. And why not? Charity events are often  just as fun as other parties and events, and sometimes more so.
