6th Annual Race in Old Town Helotes will be held on October 19, 2024!

This is a “race” for those who would rather check their Instagram, watch TV, drink beer, and eat donuts—not get up early and run or bike. We have other priorities than working out. This is your race!

At the same time, you’ll be helping the foundation make a difference in our community. To date, we have supported the following programs:

Funded 38 High School Scholarships
Established a Trade School Scholarship Program
Sponsored the Walter Gerlach Livestock Show and Auction
Sponsored the Helotes Festival Association Cornyval & PRCA Rodeo
Funded the Miss Helotes Pageant, scholarship for Excellence in Community Service
Developed a member non-profit grant program
Created a Serve Day to help our member non-profits
Established a teacher grant program
And more initiatives to come…
