Sixth Annual Fabulous Holiday Brunch @ Omni Hotel, 12-14

650 San Antonio leaders will gather for the Sixth Annual Fabulous Holiday Brunch, Saturday, December 14th from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. @ the OMNI Hotel, 9821 Colonnade Blvd.

Community leader Rosie Castro, mother of Mayor Julian Castro and Congressman Joaquin Castro, will be featured speaker at the event. Ms. Castro will speak about “The Transformative Power of Education and the Individual's Ability to Affect Positive Change in Our Community.”

Event co-founder Martha Tijerina explains, “Our all-volunteer effort is done through a partnership with Department of Services for Women & Non-Traditional Students which is located at the San Antonio College Empowerment Center. Funds raised by the Fabulous Brunch which go to the Alamo Colleges Foundation, are designated to help displaced homemakers, single parents, victims of violence and other non-traditional students who are enrolled at the Center.”

Over its six-year history, Fabulous Brunch organizers have raised more than $ 271,400 and assisted over 350 GED students to date. Success of the Fabulous Brunch has allowed volunteer organizers to help even more students through the Rising Stars Scholarship and the new GED Empowerment to College Endowed Scholarship fund.
