Leave with some documents and/or valuable resources that will help put these important pieces in place for your family!  Jnana Settle, attorney, will hold a question/answer time at the end, too!

We’re all learning new ways to be together and we at This Side UP! Family are so grateful to be going into our 10th year of celebrating and strengthening family.  Your donations will help us start 2021 strong with in person programming, new COVID protocols, more virtual resources, and all the tools we need to continue supporting what we all have in common- family.

Early giving starts on 9/1/2020 at 8:00 am and continues until September 16th at midnight!   If you’d rather wait to make your donation until North Texas Giving Day- You can give on 9/17/2020 from 6:00 am until 11:00 pm.
