Tiger Fun & Learning
July - December 2023 Events
Coats for Kids
The Princeton Club of Ausin has organized a time for us to volunteer in the city-wide effort to make sure every kid in Central Texas has a warm winter coat - Coats for Kids. To register, click here and then select the December 7th, 6-9pm shift to volunteer with your fellow Tigers.
Each year, more than 2,000 community volunteers participate in the acquisition, sorting, and distribution of coats. It is due to the valued support of local groups, businesses, schools, and individuals that Coats for Kids continues to thrive and serve the children and families of Central Texas each winter.
During the shift, we will use children's "wish list" (size and colors) to find a coat for them among the Coat for Kids racks. We then label the coat and pack it to be sent to the pick up location.
Princeton Club of Austin Annual Holiday Party
Join us for our always-popular annual holiday party! All ages are welcome. You can look forward to festive food and drink as well as face painting and other activities to entertain the kids. Invitations have been emailed directly to our local alumni & parent community. If you didn’t receive it, please contact us directly for the RSVP link and address.
River Place Hike
Join us for a scenic adventure at River Place Nature Trail! The 6-mile out-and-back trail offers stunning views, lush greenery, and a rewarding outdoor experience. Please be prepared for a bit of a workout, as the trail includes stairs and elevation changes.
We will meet at the Boardwalk Kiosk/Trailhead at 8820 Big View Dr, Austin, TX 78730. There's ample street parking available, so no need to stress about finding a spot. Note that during weekend peak hours, there may be a $10/hiker fee (credit cards only). It's not always enforced, but it's good to be prepared. Remember to bring water and wear comfortable hiking shoes for a comfortable journey.
