About

The Inspire Awards gathers the community to celebrate San Antonio ISD alumni who have risen to the top of their fields and/or have made a significant impact in their community. Our alumni honorees serve as examples to current students and remind us all of the powerful impact SAISD students have made and will continue to make in our city and beyond. Because of donors like you, this event raises $200,000 annually to build the foundation for today’s SAISD students.
