Texas Cavaliers Gift Helps Fund New Cardiology Unit

We were honored and humbled to have been selected as the charitable honoree of this year’s Texas Cavaliers River Parade. The Texas Cavaliers are committed to bettering the lives of San Antonio area children through numerous programs and events throughout the year. This year, patients at The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio will benefit from a gift of more than $561,000, presented by the Texas Cavaliers to the hospital just a few hours before the annual River Parade on Monday.

This incredible gift includes a matching grant from The Will Smith Foundation, and will help fund a new pediatric cardiology unit at The Children’s Hospital. It is the largest gift made by the Texas Cavaliers to date.

Associates, and patient, Destany, from The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio, joined the Texas Cavaliers for their 77th Annual River Parade, a “one-of-a-kind celebration of San Antonio and its people.” The colorful, vibrant evening parade lit up the banks of the Riverwalk and was attended by more than 200,000 people. We had a blast!
