Fuel Our Mission!

Update

We raised over $24K on North Texas Giving Day toward a new van. The next van needs to accommodate more wheel chairs and is over $40k for a used one. We need your support to raise an additional $17K. Thanks for your support. Click on the retro van graphic to donate.

Achievement Center of Texas is Back in ACTion and we need your support now more than ever. With new guidelines in place, you will be seeing the ACT students and staff out in the community even more than before.

In order to maximize the number of students we can have out in the community at any given time, we need to purchase another van.

Early giving is open and continues up until the big event on September 21st

Will you help us FUEL OUR MISSION here at ACT on North Texas Giving Day?
