Why A.P.R.I.S.A?
Who We Are
and Our Mission
We are the Association of Puerto Ricans in San Antonio
(APRISA). We are a 50l(c) (3) non-profit
corporation founded on 2009 to
host and support social, cultural and artistic events and to promote a better
understanding of our culture amongst San Antonians and future generations.
It is our
main goal to offer non-traditional scholarships to persons of Puerto Rican
descent and to special needs/learning disability persons, to promote their
independence and higher education.
We also
participate and promote community involvement to make this, a better place for
all.
We
offer our members:
•
Opportunities to fellowship with other ‘Boricuas’ and to celebrate our culture
•
Bi-Monthly Newsletter
• FREE or
discounted advertisement rates in our newsletter
• FREE or
discounted business link in our webpage
•
Networking and Business Marketing opportunities
•
Opportunities to get involved in our community
•
Discounts from our Sponsor/Business Members
• Opportunity for positions of leadership
Who
may join?
Our
membership is open to all Puerto Ricans, their descendants and those with good
character who believe in the principles of liberty and equality among all races
who also support our culture and heritage. You don't need an invitation to join
us.
We are here to enhance what other Puerto Rican
organizations are doing in San Antonio and to sponsor more events throughout
the year where we all can come together and experience our culture as if we
were back home such as... Celebrating la Noche de San Juan.... el Día de la Constitución... ‘un jueguito de
Domino’... una Noche de Bohemia ‘recordando el pasado’ enjoying our old but wonderful trio music and
poetry... But most of all... doing this as a family so our younger
generation will gain understanding and appreciation for our roots.
We also
promote community involvement. We
come together to support the different causes and needs of our community. We Walk for Alzheimer's and Race for
the Cure; promote awareness among the Latino community, hold fundraisers and
‘GoRed’ for Women… We believe that every little bit helps.
Our
membership fee is $75/year per family and $55/year per person. We also offer
Sponsorship opportunities. Contact us for more information.
Compare
to other organizations here? I believe we are a little different but we all
have a common goal... Educate, promote, preserve and share our culture as we
also help those in need.
“We want to 'live' our culture here at home... away from
home.”
