For 25 years, the Schlotzsky's® Bun Run® has benefited the Austin Sunshine Camps. Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps was created in 1928 by the
Young Men's Business League of Austin(YMBL) and for more than 80 years, have been serving the at risk youth of Central Texas. The huge volunteer base of
Schlotzsky's and the YMBL allows the Bun Run to donate more than 94 percent of race proceeds directly to the children.
Austin YMBL Sunshine Camps serve over 850 high potential, low income youths annually by providing year-round programs, and by giving kids the
unforgettable experience of a real summer camp. The camp sessions are week-long retreats that include canoeing, hiking, swimming and other
activitiesall at no cost to the children or their families. The YMBL volunteers help motivate children to excel in school, and encourage older
children to think about college and their future.
Austin Sunshine Camps also provide academically based programs throughout the year such as Wednesday night tutoring and mentoring, life skills retreats
and community service opportunities. Since inception, Sunshine Camps and the YMBL have proudly served more than 44,5000 youth completely free of
