Cap City Cares is a non-profit event in its first year. In the Austin Urban community there are hundreds of families, youth and young adults who struggle to meet their basic needs in life and more so during the summer months when school is out and no school meals or aid provided. They are usually young minority men and woman, adolescent to mid-twenties in age. They are predominantly under employed, with small children and have little to limited resources.
In efforts to make a difference in the Austin Urban Community for those families Mi$ta D, Capital View Arts, and other urban artists and organizations have formed a collaborative partnership to present a day full of entertainment, positive competition, and a food drive mid summer in sync with of all the celebrations.
Cap City Cares integrates two parts:
A. Entertainment & Sports

There will be a food drive held during the day for entry in the basketball tournaments and for artist to perform on stage. The event is free to the public to attend, however donations of food will be accepted to provide aid to those less fortunate in the urban community.
