“Our goal and the goal of all of our phenomenal volunteers is to provide an on-going event that benefits San Antonio’s youth,” said Cindy Taylor, South Chamber president. “The City South Festival is the cornerstone to our establishing a foundation to ensure our students have the financial resources they need for many years to come.”

We thank the South Chamber for its impactful contributions to the community, particularly our most valuable resource -- our students,” said Robert Jaklich, Harlandale ISD superintendent.

“This event helps students build self-esteem and is an example of opportunities we try to provide for our students. Partnering with organizations like the South Chamber is a necessary component to enhancing our curriculum and providing excellent opportunities for learning.”
