Texas Cavaliers News & Profiles - Winter 2020 issue

In 2019, $1.5M in TCCF funding provided critical support to 69 non-profits that serve children. Education, arts, culture, medicine, science, social services, and youth enrichment projects are among the services we fund. This issue, we introduce three agencies that are doing tough work with children and youth to abate their suffering and guide them toward lives of hope, health, and safety. These selfless organizations are making a difference. Their work is arduous, innovative, and critical to the children who are the beneficiaries.

Spotlight: The Children’s Shelter

Ask any Texas Cavalier and he’ll tell you: we have a big soft spot for The Children’s Shelter. How could we not love them and their selfless mission? They open their hospitable doors to children in our community from infancy to age 16 – kids who’ve been abused, neglected, abandoned, and removed from their homes. They give them love, healthy food, education, nurturing, security, and safety. They give them hope.

I can think of 1.5 million reasons why Fiesta was so great this year! Because of the generosity of Cavaliers and friends, King Antonio Roger Hill III handed out $1.5M to 67 carefully vetted charities. Many people made this possible, but the big accolades belong to Scott Christy, our 2019 River Parade Marshal. His personal efforts and those of his River Parade team to secure sponsorships, matching funds, and outright donations were extraordinary.

Leon McNeil and his wife Leticia are literally changing the lives of inner-city kids with their City Kids Adventures. Introducing kids to camping, kayaking, offshore fishing, ATV riding, hiking, archery, hunting, and canoeing, they are exposing them to the vast, promising world beyond their often narrow scope. They serve more than 150 kids each year, from sixth grade up. In the summer, they take groups of older kids on trips around the U.S. to broaden their knowledge and cultural awareness.
