RIPPLES OF HOPE AWARDS DINNER
“Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he… [or she] sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and...those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
-Robert F. Kennedy, 1966, University of Capetown, South Africa

The Ripples of Hope Awards Dinner is San Antonio’s premiere event that celebrates our city’s Champions and Hidden Heroes. The event also features exceptional cuisine, an inspiring program, live music and excellent networking opportunities with San Antonio’s civic, philanthropic and business community.
The dinner also provides an exclusive opportunity for sponsors at the $2,500 level to select a Hidden Hero from your corporation, civic, faith or family life. A Hidden Hero is someone who works behind the scenes and is often unrecognized for their tremendous contributions and untiring commitment to creating ripples of hope in San Antonio. Hidden Heroes will be recognized and presented a gift during the awards dinner.
