In celebration of Queen Holly Austin, her daughter, our own Princess Angie Kopshy has written a fun and beautiful song about Shriners Kids called “Never Giving Up”. She has recorded this song (including a YouTube video) and it is now for sale with proceeds benefiting Shriners Healthcare for Children thru the Daughters of the Nile Foundation. Her band, known as Stoneface Honey, will donate 100% of each downloaded song, and 70% of each purchased CD to the DON Foundation.

In addition to her interview, she provided information on the history and reasons to join Daughters of the Nile (which was narrated prior to her on-camera appearance).

Empty Auction Basket

Site Manager2020-11-30T14:09:26-08:00

With Supreme Session being cancelled, there was no silent auction of baskets this year. For many years, this had been a very fun and exciting event held in the marketplace to benefit the Convalescent Endowment Fund.

However, the Foundation would like to give members an opportunity to fill the “2020 EMPTY AUCTION BASKET”. Let’s see how much we can make the “2020 Empty Auction Basket” worth.
Auction stays open until September 30th, 2020.

Send your check, made out to the Daughters of the Nile Foundation, to:
6705 Mesa Drive
Austin, TX 78731
In the memo line, please include “2020 Empty Auction Basket”.

Your Foundation thanks you, and hopes everyone stays safe and healthy!
