READY, SET, CAYTA BOWL!

Join us for a fun-filled day of sports, friends, and community spirit at CAYTA Bowl, a high-energy football skills fundraiser taking place February 1, 2026, just ahead of Super Bowl weekend. This FUNraiser will continue throughout 2026 to achieve our funding goal and support 30 youth.

The CAYTA Bowl marks the first phase of a two-part tradition, leading into our Cruise for a Cause in February 2027—a Super Bowl weekend at sea aboard the Carnival Valor. Together, these events raise critical funds for scholarships and educational travel, giving Austin youth the opportunity to explore the world, expand their perspectives, and dream bigger. Your sponsorships and ticket purchases will help us achieve our goal of creating futures by saving lives.

Why CAYTA BOWL Matters

The impact of the CAYTA Bowl extends beyond the field through three key areas:

• Empowering Local Youth: Your support funds cultural exposure, mentorship, workforce readiness, and violence-prevention programming for West Side youth.

• Strengthening Community Ties: Our sponsors partner with a trusted organization serving Austin, Lawndale, and West Garfield Park while engaging families and community leaders.

• Investing in Proven Impact: Your investment supports an award-recognized program that has helped over 300 youth gain life skills, certifications, and pathways to employment and higher education.
