I am reminded each year, especially after a successful San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame Tribute, that we are so fortunate to enjoy strong, ongoing relationships with so many individuals, companies and organizations throughout the community. To our Hall of Fame committee chairs—the Sports Foundation board of directors and staff salute you and thank you once again for your devotion and the countless hours that you give to prepare for such an affair. Our 2003 SALUTE award winner, the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, has contributed not only to the birth, but the continual growth of the Foundation. Chamber president Joe Krier and I personally thank his staff, board, and members who have served in many roles to support our ongoing efforts. They are the example of a “service” organization putting San Antonio, its businesses and citizens before their own needs as a group. The Foundation thanks you for coming to the “aid of the party,” especially the sports efforts, time and time again. Thanks for your leadership, Joe Krier! We thank
all of our supporters and members for helping to develop the events
and youth programs that have led to our growth and success. Many of
you will receive a visit from us soon as we work to secure your ongoing
support. Please be willing to give us the honest feedback we need to
better serve the community. |
San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame Tribute While total
funds are still being tabulated, the results are in for the silent
auction. More than $61,000 was raised for DFY, and lots of people
went home with terrific finds. Thanks to all who made the 2003 San
Antonio Sports Hall of Fame such a wonderful success!
