The Austin Heritage Tree Foundation has applied for and received a grant from the City of Austin to pay for most of the removal and transplanting costs but still needs to raise about $15,000. Cypress Grill (4404 W. Wm. Cannon) held a small fundraiser on Dec. 21 and private donations are still possible, but the goal has yet to be reached.
Jack Allen's Kitchen (7720 Hwy 71 West)in Oak Hill will donate some of the proceeds from meals purchased in the restaurant today and tonight, Monday, Dec. 30. However, guests must mention saving the tree to activate the donation. So dine out, speak up, and help save the Taco Bell Tree!
To make donations by phone, call 512/447-1566 ext. 1 and specify your donation is for the Taco Bell Tree.
