It's about coming together to help our neighbors in need.

EVENING TEAM
Enough Is Enough. It's Time for a Win!
Let's face it. Nick Bannin and the KXAN Evening Team haven't exactly had the best luck in the Friendsgiving Challenge.
Year after year, the Morning Team has taken home the gold... leaving Nick and the Evening Team hoping their luck will finally turn around.
But this year, they’re determined to change that!
And there's no better reason to rally behind the Evening Team than helping our neighbors in need.
Every donation benefits the Central Texas Food Bank, helping provide food for families experiencing hunger throughout our community.
So get behind Nick and the Evening Team! Give what you can, help make a difference, and let's FINALLY bring home that trophy!
