The 2010 AAIM Hope Awards

Our 2010 AAIM Hope Awards on Tuesday, May 4, were a tremendous success! To all of who attended, participated, or volunteered, thank you.

This year we honored Pat & Bob Ayres, Donna & Philip Berber of A Glimmer of Hope Foundation, and Jennifer & Ashton Cumberbatch, all of whom have shown dedication to Putting Hope in Action here in Austin and around the world. In addition, Dan Rather and Evan Smith delivered a captivating conversation on Mr. Rather's faith journey and his tireless devotion to journalism.

Thanks to the support and generosity of our sponsors, auction donors, and awards attendees, AAIM raised close to $140,000 at this year's Hope Awards!
