Why this matters in Terrell Hills News
The Pride Bigger Than Texas Festival at Crockett Park is a significant event for the Terrell Hills community, as it brings together thousands of people to celebrate LGBTQ+ history and resilience. The festival's connection to local nonprofits, such as the BEAT AIDS Coalition Trust, highlights the importance of community support and resources in the San Antonio area. The fact that proceeds from the festival will benefit eight local nonprofits and charities demonstrates the event's commitment to giving back to the community. As Terrell Hills residents, it's heartening to see organizations like the Diversity Recovery Alliance and Living Positive San Antonio receiving funding to expand their reach and support people in practical ways, such as providing food and housing assistance. The festival's impact will be felt beyond the day's festivities, as it helps to reduce shame and stigma in the LGBTQ+ community and promotes a message of love and acceptance.
