Denim & Diamonds celebrates Austin’s House

As we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Austin’s House with Denim & Diamonds on Feb. 24, you could feel the love for the kids in the room. We laughed, cried, enjoyed the food, danced, and bid on some wonderful prizes donated by businesses and individuals in Northern Nevada. We bid farewell to our outgoing executive director, Kathleen Miller, and welcomed our new one, Marla Morris.

We would like to thank the businesses and people who gave donations, whether a silent auction item, a discount, or their time so Austin’s House could continue its mission:
