We’re so grateful to be the beneficiary of Move For The Mind on September 28th! This 3.5 mile run/dance through downtown Austin is all about celebrating life, movement, music, and community.

All proceeds from the event go directly to SIMS, helping us provide vital mental health and substance use recovery services for Austin’s music industry professionals.

If you’re in the 512, come join us for a day of connection, joy, and sweet beats, all while supporting Austin’s music community.

Thank you to the amazing organizers JP Cleveland, Justin Leibow, and Brendan Mergi

Last week, SIMS Foundation was honored to be part of a conversation hosted by The Moritz Center for Societal Impact at UT Austin about collaboration between many of Austin's music-centered nonprofit organizations.

It's so inspiring anytime we get a chance to convene with our peers who are working toward the same goal of supporting and strengthening our local music community and Austin's live music culture.

Thank you for hosting us, Moritz Center! We look forward to many more conversations to come. ✨
