Energize the drive, One team supporting United Way

Please join us as we come together as One Team with United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County to make a difference for those in need in our community. Our Company has a long-standing tradition of showing up for our community when individuals and families need us the most, and we want to continue our tradition of being a good neighbor in San Antonio.

Our theme this year is “Energize the Drive, One Team supporting United Way,” so show your team spirit and get involved! Our campaign will run from Monday, September 8, through Friday, October 3. As we focus on United Way's work for our community and provide engagement opportunities, we hope to see you at some of our campaign rallies and special events.

We ask you to please join us as One Team, as we strive to achieve 50% employee participation with $625,000 in pledges. Your pledge dollars stay local, making a lasting impact for individuals and families in our community.

Thank you again for your generosity during this exciting time. We are supporting our community and our President and CEO, Rudy D. Garza, and his wife, Emily, as Co-Chairs of the 2025 community campaign.

Let’s create a better future for our community as One Team! 

One Team. One Goal. United Is The Way. 

Your contributions will support the following community needs:

Preparing Young Children for Life - Working to ensure that all children grow up in safe, stable, and nurturing environments and that all children are healthy in mind, body, and spirit and become curious learners progressing to their full potential.

Helping Students Succeed- Making sure all young people are actively engaged in our community, prepared for the 21st-century workforce, and have resource-rich environments with prepared and engaged adults to support them to reach their full potential.

Strengthening Individuals and Families - United Way works to ensure that all individuals and families are stable, flourish economically, reach their full potential, and maintain a quality of life free of discrimination.

Supporting People in Crisis - United Way provides safety net services assisting with issues related to food, clothing, abuse, shelter, and emergency care to meet the immediate, urgent needs of those in need.
