Fund Raising
Have a Heart
"Have a Heart" is a fundraiser sponsored by each year's incoming class of new members of the Assistance League of San Antonio.
Beginning in August, class members submit names of potential donors, and these names are added to a list of patrons that have donated in the past. A mailing workday in September finds class members stuffing envelopes with heart cut-outs telling how donations can help fund two of the many programs of this all volunteer, nonprofit organization.
Patron's gifts will be used to support Togs for Tots, a program which provides clothing for children from birth through five years of age, and Operation School Bell, which provides clothing for elementary school students who are identified by the schools as those who are absent due to lack of clothing, or as those who attend school inadequately dressed.
A "heart" was chosen because it symbolizes "the loving, caring, and giving" provided by assistance League to those in need within our community.
