On February 11th, AVANCE – San Antonio hosted “Amor in Action,” a special Valentine’s event that united community members in showing appreciation for the mothers in our programs. Guests crafted heart-shaped art pieces with personalized notes filled with messages of encouragement and love, which will be delivered to AVANCE moms.
The event was facilitated by Martha Martinez Flores, a figure deeply rooted in the San Antonio community and known for her belief that “SA is Amor.” A passionate advocate for creativity and cultural engagement, Martha has contributed to strengthening the city through her career in advertising and her involvement with local organizations like SAY Sí and the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
During the event, AVANCE – San Antonio staff offered guests a tour of our center, providing an inside look at the essential programs that empower and support local mothers and families. “Amor in Action” took place over two evenings as part of the lead-up to AVANCE – San Antonio’s upcoming Mother of the Year fundraiser, a celebration of the strength, resilience, and love of the mothers in our community. The personalized notes crafted at the event will serve as heartfelt reminders of the community’s appreciation and support for our moms.
“We are thankful to everyone who participated, spreading love and making this event truly meaningful!” -AVANCE-San Antonio team
