Around Town
Around Town is the best way to stay informed on upcoming events and the many community partnerships Dell Children’s has in place to support our tiny patients and their families. In addition to events, you can find out about ways to shop with a purpose whether it’s filling up your gas tank at the neighborhood Circle K, picking up groceries at Walmart or Costco, or purchasing a piece of jewelry at Kendra Scott. Stay in the know and learn about all the ways you can help our wonderful Austin community in supporting Dell Children’s so we’re here when you need us most.

The extra change from each transaction you make will be “rounded up” and donated every month to Dell Children’s!
