Your sponsorship gives you access to both events and directly funds programs that bring comfort, compassion, creativity, and hope to patients facing mental health challenges.

Insights Art Show

We believe that art has the power to heal, connect, and uplift. Every brushstroke tells a story of courage, recovery, and hope from the patients of Austin State Hospital.

Our annual Insights Art Show is more than an art show — it’s a movement to celebrate creativity and support mental health through art, expression, and community. This event aims to raise awareness about mental health issues and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.


The event will showcase artwork created through our ongoing art therapy workshops, alongside pieces generously donated by acclaimed local artists.

All proceeds from this event go directly towards future programs and outings that support quality of life and recovery for patients at the hospital.

By becoming a sponsor, you’re not just supporting an event — you’re helping create a community where every patient feels seen, valued, and inspired.

ASH Dash 5K Bunny Run

The ASH Dash 5K Bunny Run, the Friends of ASH's signature event to raise awareness and support for patient projects, is back! Over the past 17 years, the ASH Dash has welcomed thousands of runners, walkers, and volunteers the Saturday before Easter to support many services and programs not funded through the State of Texas.

Follow the Easter Bunny as you run, race, or walk for mental health on a course that winds through the hospital's tree-shaded grounds in historic Hyde Park and stay for an Easter egg hunt for all participants following the race.

This is a family friendly race including our beloved four- legged family members. Please consider supporting us by becoming a registered participant or a sponsor.
