Nature isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. At Candlelight Ranch, we provide safe, critical outdoor access for underserved families in Central Texas, including communities disproportionately affected by environmental hazards and systematic barriers. The reality: Children in areas like East Austin have limited access to parks and green spaces, which leads to higher stress, reduced physical activity, and fewer opportunities for outdoor learning. Nature heals: Studies show that green spaces improve mental health, boost self-esteem, and foster resilience. How Candlelight Ranch Helps: Through programs like Children in Nature and Military Family Days, we provide life-enriching experiences—zip lines, environmental education, and mindfulness in nature—while breaking down barriers to outdoor access. These activities inspire confidence, joy, and a deep connection to nature for the children who need it most. Your year-end tax-deductible gift empowers families in need and offers access to nature for underserved youth across Central Texas.

🌟 Welcome to Week #219 of The Friday Feature - Giving Back! 🌟 This past week has shown the incredible power of community in the face of adversity. Our area was hit hard by two severe thunderstorms within just 12 hours, one of which included tornadoes with an EF-3 rating. Despite multiple-day power outages, first responders, utility workers, business owners, and community members all came together, demonstrating remarkable resilience and unity. At work, I witnessed an inspiring spirit of cooperation as co-workers and strangers pulled together for a common cause, working tirelessly to restore power to thousands of homes, farms, and businesses. This sense of community and support has truly highlighted the importance of giving back, which I will be doing tomorrow by joining friends and new acquaintances on the golf course to support 18ForeLife. I don't play golf often, but this event is special – 18ForeLife donates every penny raised to local families battling cancer, providing $1,000 "love offerings" with no questions asked. To date, the organization has given away over $3 million! 👉 If you're reading this or watching the video, remember that each of us has the power to help someone else. Sometimes it's as simple as a wave, a smile, or a pat on the back. If you're fortunate enough to make a financial contribution, I encourage you to find a cause that speaks to you and give today. Let's celebrate our blessings by being a blessing to others. 🌟 https://lnkd.in/gCM_RKZa #GivingBack #Community #18ForeLife #Blessings #Support #TogetherWeCan #KeepPushingForward and #LeadWithYourHeart

In the U.S. and much of the world, extreme heat is the leading weather-related cause of death. With no definition of "extreme heat," communities worldwide implement various solutions to save lives. As the problem worsens, there are opportunities to expand effective interventions. On April 11th, The Center for Disaster Philanthropy hosted "It gets hotter every year: How to proactively fund the heat crisis," offering strategies for donors. Key takeaways include understanding local contexts of extreme heat, identifying vulnerable groups, and supporting existing community efforts rather than starting anew.  📖 Explore more and read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eBuCv8iD #ExtremeHeat #DisasterRelief #Philanthropy #ClimateAction #CommunityResilience #GivingCompass #ImpactfulGiving
