On Friday, September 13th from 7PM-10PM Sky Candy presented “Live at the UMLAUF” a delightful evening with the mission for 2020 of expanding partial and full schorlarships from 5% to 20% for the Sky Camp Summer Program to foster families in need. The event raised over $15,000 in ticket sales, and brought in 3/4 of their goal! If you would like to help Sky Candy, you can make a fully tax deductible donation to the fiscal sponsor, the Austin Creative Alliance, a 501(c)3 arts advocacy group. You can submit your donation to the 2020 Youth Scholarship Fund by selecting Sky Candy from Austin Creative Alliance’s list of sponsored projects.

The event included a VIP area, Ze Wurst food truck, Drink Slingers bar, Fancy Tom portraits, Killer Queen designs, tarot reading, and a silent auction.
The Food & Drink Sponsors included: Treaty Oak Distilling, Total Wine & Spirits, Uroko, The Front Page, Sweet Charli Girl, PrettyThai, Richard’s Rainwater, Zhi Tea, and Austin Beerworks.
