For the past four decades, Communities In Schools of San Antonio (CIS-SA) has been there — showing up for students, families, and communities through every challenge and every triumph. As we celebrate 40 years of champions, we invite you to join us for The Reunion Gala — a milestone celebration filled with connection, reflection, and the spirit of champions. This special event will take place on Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 5:30 - 10:00 p.m. at The Tobin Center for Performing Arts (Cocktail Attire). Much like a school reunion, this evening will be filled with nostalgia and heartfelt moments as we look back on the memories that shaped who we are today.

But this celebration wouldn’t be complete without you. The success of our mission has always depended on people showing up — mentors, partners, donors, educators, and friends like you who believe every child deserves someone in their corner.  Your investment in this milestone event not only makes the celebration possible — it ensures CIS-SA can continue showing up for the students who need us most! Together, let’s celebrate how far we’ve come — and the bright future ahead.
