On October 23, 2025, former Bachelor host Chris Harrison and his wife Lauren Zima co-hosted a charity gala called "Experience: Austin" at Ranch Austin to celebrate the opening of Experience Camps' first location in Texas. The event was a major success, raising a remarkable $800,000 for the nonprofit organization.
Experience Camps provides free grief support for children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. The cause is especially meaningful to Lauren, whose father passed away while she was in college. She now serves as a volunteer counselor for the organization.
