San Angelo Gives Supports Community
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) —A chant of 'San Angelo Gives!' echoed across the Concho Valley on Tuesday as the annual 24-hour online giving event marked its 11th year. Organized by the San Angelo Area Foundation, San Angelo Gives is aimed at raising funds for nonprofit organizations across the region. Since its inception, the event has brought in $26 million to support local causes. 'Over 11 years we've raised $26 million for causes across the Concho Valley, so that's really incredible for a community our size,' said Janet Karcher of the San Angelo Area Foundation. 'Our community has really rallied around organizations so they can deliver the services that are so important.' Last year, the event raised $4 million, and organizers hope to surpass that this year. A total of 265 nonprofits are participating. Among them is the Open Arms Advocacy Center, which supports survivors of sexual violence and offers support to the LGBTQ+ community. 'We want to say thank you for supporting us throughout the years,' said Tammy Sanchez of Open Arms. 'This is my sixth year with San Angelo Gives and we couldn't do it without the support of our community.' Jennie Wagner, also with Open Arms, echoed the appreciation: 'Always showing up for survivors, always showing up for us. We couldn't be more thankful.' Organizations focused on health services also count on the day's donations to keep critical programs running. 'We serve people with disabilities throughout the Concho Valley and surrounding counties,' said Dana from Disability Connections. 'We help to empower people with disabilities to maintain or gain independence.' Abby Rollwietz with the San Angelo Cancer Association added, 'This day alone is so important for all the organizations in the community. Thank you to everyone who has donated.' School and arts groups are also benefiting. Theresa Cortez of the CTX Performing Arts Center Committee said the group is excited to participate for the first time. 'We have a five-year goal to break ground and build this building—but we need everyone's help to do it,' Cortez said. Community outreach groups such as The Salvation Army rely heavily on the event. 'I want to say thank you to our community,' said Maj. Adriana Martinez. 'Without you, we couldn't be here and we couldn't provide the services that we do.' Donations can be made through San Angelo Gives until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. 'No matter the size of the gift—$10, $10,000 or even $100,000—combined together in one single day, it truly can make an impact,' Karcher said. 'Even if it's a dollar, anything counts,' added Amber Merino of the San Angelo Early Childhood Center. 'So bring us the money.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
