About Austin Entertains The Junior League of Austin (JLA) proudly kicks off Women’s History Month with the 8th annual Austin Entertains 2024 Sip and Savor on March 7, 2024. The event supports entrepreneurs and innovative women in the culinary arts by showcasing the Austin area’s top chefs, bartenders, spirit purveyors, winemakers and industry leaders while benefiting The Junior League of Austin. Participants are invited to apply to be awarded one or more of the Austin Entertains fellowships which help further their educational, business and/or professional development. Since 2020, over $54,500 has been awarded to participants, including Michelle Doyon (Michelle’s Patisserie), Elisia Velasquez (Teddy V. Patisserie) and Krystal Craig (Intero Restaurant). Austin Entertains is a fundraiser and is proud to spotlight one of JLA’s signature programs, Food In Tummies (FIT), which combats food insecurity in East Austin and Del Valle. Last year, Austin Entertains raised over $122,000, which is equivalent to 24,000 FIT backpacks. |
