About Lo Bello Women’s Association

Mission Statement
To Strengthen Our Community Through Education

 

Lo Bello de San Antonio Women’s Association was founded in July 1993. Amelia Garza is the founder and first President. As a small business owner, she recognized how difficult it is to succeed in business without an education. As a result, she was determined to assist others in obtaining an education so that they would not have to experience some of the obstacles that she had to overcome. The membership consists of business and professional women who volunteer their time and resources so that we can continue to strive to reach our goal of increasing educational opportunities in our community through our fundraising events.

Community Impact

Our organization hosts several events throughout the year that assist us in fundraising for scholarships. This includes our Champagne and Diamonds brunch, an official Fiesta San Antonio event, as well as our annual Lo Bello Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament. Our scholarship program is intended to assist and encourage students in obtaining education to further their vocation. We have distributed nearly $2 million in scholarships since 1993.
