Members of The Hay Group and their terrific helpers cleaned up our part of Shoal Creek at Beverly Sheffield Park. Plus we made more than 200 “seed mudballs” with riparian wildflowers and plants, then threw them in the field next to the pond and along the creek bed. It’s going to be a beautiful spring at the park this year!

As a part of our continuing support of the Austin community, The Hay Group team members provided a beautiful Holiday dinner for one of Foundation Communities’ residential facilities Monday night.
We fed more than 70 residents of the Spring Terrace Apartments a bountiful meal, mostly prepared by our staff. The residents were very appreciative of the Holiday meal, and especially the abundance of sweet treats!
One resident declared “it was just delicious and felt great to have such a lovely home-cooked meal.”
Foundation Communities is a local non-profit that provides people with an affordable, safe and attractive place to call home, as well as opportunities right at their doorstep to transform their lives.
Congratulations to the Austin’s team of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital advocates who hosted the most successful Lone Stars and Angels Gala – raising more than $318,000 – and celebrated the 10th anniversary of the event. The event was chaired by the Firm’s John A. Hay III, who just completed his 4th year in that role.
“This year represents the reality come true of the vision laid out 10 years ago,” John said. He added, “without the hours of hard work of the St. Jude staff and volunteers, this great event would never have been able to achieve the success it has. I look forward to seeing the growth over the next decade.”
The 2016 Burnt Orange Benefit Tailgate, October 29, was a huge success. A generous donation will be made to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, on behalf of the attendees.
With outstanding barbecue – thanks to Stephen Smith – great drinks, great music from the Texas K.G.B and Aaron Navarro, we also had former UT All American, Cedric Benson, the newest member of the Security National Mortgage Company’s team on hand for pictures.

“It was a great time and rewarding experience. I’m so glad that The Hay Group offers us these opportunities to participate in the community,” said Brian Walsh.

The Hay Group’s Help Lead Give program recently adopted a portion of Shoal Creek at the Beverly Sheffield Northwest District Park and will maintain it for the next year. Our first clean up effort yielded 5 bags of trash plus an old backpack, comforter and a broken umbrella!
Several members of the Hay team came out on a hot afternoon after work and did an outstanding job removing debris. Future efforts will also include planting wildflowers and appropriate riparian plants. The effort is a part of the Keep Austin Beautiful Adopt-A-Creek program.
Karen Aboussie of The Hay Legal Group PLLC joined members of the Real Estate Council of Austin to help remove debris and clean up the Williamson Creek Trail, in support of National Trails Day throughout the city. It is part of our ongoing effort to promote community service through our Help Lead Give program.
Members of The Hay Legal Group PLLC joined other Real Estate Council of Austin (RECA) members at Pleasant Valley Park on Saturday, March 5, for the Austin Parks Foundation It’s My Park Day. Part of the city-wide day dedicated to cleaning up area parks, more than 20 members were on hand to help.
Volunteers pulled hundreds of pounds of trash out of our city’s newest park at the end of Pleasant Valley Road in South Austin. Running out of trash bags was indicative of the amount of trash and debris gathered.
