CharityBash at Molotov
Kids today! Running around. Going to clubs. Raising money for charities. Wait. That’s a good thing, right?
Zach Gostout, Jen Ohlson
Charity, once the exclusive province of older generations, has been embraced with enthusiasm by twentysomethings who you might expect to be spending their club years in a whirl of frivolousness.

Oh sure, there were always the young, saintly types who gave up two or three years to help the needy. But where were the masses?
Alexandra Pineda, Charlotte Ice, Alex Winkelman
Thanks to Facebook — and trustworthy sources like Alex Winkelman and Matt Curtis — I discovered the latest CharityBash, meant to introduce giving opportunities to youngbies.
James Kinney, Derrick Boyb
The crowd did what crowds do — massed in certain places, split off for intimate conversations, but also asked questions at two tables — one explicitly devoted to the I Live Here, I Give Here program.
Jill Bauerlein, Blair Newberry
Met or re-met all sorts of young leaders, including the bursting-with-energy Winkelman, the forward-looking Jason Williams and somebody we’ve tracked from afar, Craig Saper, who skipped from the Austin stage to movies and TV in Los Angeles, and now back in Austin working in advertising.
