Texas Cavaliers Honored with San Antonio Academy’s
Distinguished Humanitarian Award
The Alumni Association of San Antonio Academy of Texas presented the Texas Cavaliers with the 40th Colonel W.T. Bondurant, Sr. Distinguished Humanitarian Award at a special luncheon held at the Witte Museum on Tuesday, November 19.
Named after Col. W.T. Bondurant, Sr., San Antonio Academy’s Head of School from 1927 to 1943, the award recognizes leaders who embody the values he championed: honesty, respect, pride in achievement, and service to others. Past recipients include notable figures such as H. Ross Perot, Jr., Tom C. Frost, and B.J. McCombs.
The Texas Cavaliers, a historic charitable organization founded in 1926, were recognized for their commitment to bettering the lives of San Antonio area children through numerous programs and events throughout the year. With a membership of over 600 civic leaders, the Cavaliers have distributed more than $8 million through the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation to benefit local charities since its establishment in 1989.
“This recognition means so much to all of us who believe in the importance of helping the future leaders of our city be honest, be kind, and be the best they can be,” said King Antonio CI Scott Christy. “Helping our youth is one of the most important investments we can make — and it’s our responsibility to provide them with the tools, support, and encouragement they need to thrive. Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community where every young person has the chance to succeed. ¡Viva San Antonio Academy!”
San Antonio Academy holds the Texas Cavaliers close to its heart, as generations of Academy fathers, grandfathers, and alumni have proudly served in this historic charitable organization. Their dedication to humanitarian service exemplifies the values and actions that San Antonio Academy seeks to instill in every boy.
