2023 Donation Request Form

Texas School Charities has several missions:

1. To Provide educational scholarships for current and future entrepreneurs.

2. To provide manpower (photographers) and financial assistance to "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" (NILMDTS) which gifts remembrance photography to parents whose child does not have a long life expectancy. The Great Give Back is a ticketed auction created to harness the giving power of the 1,000 professional photographers who gather yearly for a week of continuing education along with the giving power of businesses who support giving back. People come from all over the country for this event and represent all demographics. Donated items will be featured with a physical display in the Texas School Charities booth at the trade show all week. Any promotional material provided will be displayed as well.

Nothing makes a soul sing more than giving back. Giving back to those who need your time, your resources, or your heart is the foundation that can bring a profound impact on the community around us.

Please try to have items delivered to a Texas School Charities Board or committee member by April 8th, 2024. If you are planning to attend Texas School, please photograph your item for us, upload images to the specifications below and bring the item to the TSC booth (Ballroom level) on the morning of Sunday, April 28th.
