A Letter from Paula Gold-Williams, President and CEO of CPS Energy.
�鶹��Ƶ San Antonio’s 2021 Idealist of the Year

For 25 years, �鶹��Ƶ AmeriCorps members have powerfully served the San Antonio community. They put the well-being of the students in the San Antonio Independent School District at the forefront of everything they do each and every day. I have been a fan of �鶹��Ƶ San Antonio’s work from the beginning, and I am thrilled to join in their 25th Anniversary Ripples of Hope Celebration honoring the Power of the Red Jacket.

As a graduate of Sam Houston High School, I know the critical role AmeriCorps members play in the lives of our students. The young people in the Red Jacket make a difference. Through their dedication, perseverance, and willingness to show up every day, they help our students gain confidence in themselves, grow academically, and reach their fullest potential. A �鶹��Ƶ AmeriCorps member in their Red Jacket is a steady force San Antonio and our students are fortunate to have, particularly this year, as we all work together to navigate the effects of COVID-19.

I had the opportunity to spend time with those serving in the Red Jacket last year just before the pandemic took hold. Their passion was evident – they are eager to learn and eager to help. As different as things look a year later, the Power of the Red Jacket stands firm; worn by those who continue to make an impact and create ripples of hope for thousands of students and their families across our great city.

As a supporter of �鶹��Ƶ’s work in our schools, I am grateful to be a part of the incredible community of champions who help make service in the Red Jacket possible. I imagine each of you feel the same level of gratitude for �鶹��Ƶ’s commitment and service to our students and our city. In a year that has brought such challenge and hardship, �鶹��Ƶ’s Red Jacket is something to celebrate, so join us on Wednesday, March 3rd to do just that – celebrate. And if you’re able, please consider making a financial contribution to support the work of this great organization.

I look forward to continuing to support �鶹��Ƶ and the Power of the Red Jacket for another 25 years and hope to celebrate with you all virtually on March 3rd.
