In the wonderful words of the San Antonio Symphony, "It's a wonderful world in which to share", and isn't it so true. In tough times like these we don't really have the extra cash to lend out large amounts of money to charity and organizations as much as we would like to but in reality just one dollar can make a huge difference. Below is a list of ways you can help out the community by donating to organizations that are definitely in need of it, without emptying your pockets.

Sing It Louie!! It's a wonderful world in which to share! February and March 2011 Community Collaboration partners include the American Heart Association, the Autism Community Network and the San Antonio Food Bank. Donations will be collected at the American Heart Association offices and Simply Sinatra with Steve Lippia Pops concerts held February 25 & 26, 2011. For a $20 donation, participants will receive a voucher for two tickets to a Symphony performance of their choice, with proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association's mission of building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular disease and stroke. The San Antonio Symphony is also hosting a toy drive to benefit the Autism Community Network at the Side by Side at the Movies concert, February 27, 2011, marking a new partnership in the Symphony's Community Collaboration program. Autism Community Network requests toys suitable for children ages 2-5. Cash donations will be accepted. Donating patrons will receive a voucher for two free tickets to future Symphony performances. Non-perishable food items and cash donations will be accepted at all March concerts to benefit the San Antonio Food Bank. The Food Bank can turn your $1 donation into 7 meals, 10 pounds of food or $13 worth of grocery products! This marks the third consecutive year the Symphony and Food Bank have partnered to help those in need. 130 E. Travis St., Suite 550 San Antonio, Texas 78205 Phone: 210.554.1010 Fax: 210.554.1034
