President’s message: Join our parade of giving

For a Louisiana native like me, the Mardi Gras season is always a special time.  While many people may focus on parades, king cakes and revelry when they think of Mardi Gras, in reality, it represents so much more.

It’s a celebration of family, friends, traditions and community. It’s also an opportunity to embrace a melting pot of cultures and shared experiences that help to cultivate a stronger appreciation and love for the communities it celebrates.

In a similar vein, Impact San Antonio is a melting pot of women with different experiences and perspectives coming together to cultivate a more vibrant community.  We see the power in coming together to celebrate and support the many remarkable agencies that are helping those in need.

Just like Mardi Gras, the more of us who join in the “parade,” the greater joy we are able to spread into the community through our grants.  So during this time of celebration, I encourage each of you to join us in this parade of giving.   And as with any good parade, the more the merrier!!

With your help, we will once again be 500+ strong and able to award at least $500,000 in transformational grants in 2022.
