S.A. Heron 2022 NewsMatch Launch Party

Help us kick off our annual NewsMatch campaign in person at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, at our HQ bar The Dakota East Side Ice House.

Plus, you’ll need a drink after this election.

For the third year, the San Antonio Heron has been selected to participate in NewsMatch, a national matching-gift campaign that drives donations to nonprofit newsrooms (like ours!) around the U.S.

This is our largest fundraising event of the year. The money we raise during NewsMatch, which runs Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, is crucial to fulfilling our mission heading into 2023. NewsMatch will match any contribution we receive during this time, whether it’s through our online form, mailed check, or $20 bucks dropped in our collection box at an event such as this one.

Have a drink and some food with members of the Heron team, from board members, contributors, volunteers, and others who continue to help make the Heron a reality.

We’ll also be giving away cool prizes such as H-E-B gift cards, San Antonio Zoo and McNay Art Museum tickets.

Big THANK YOU to The Dakota for $1 OFF DRAFTS (domestics and imports) during the event, and for hosting us.

Just a reminder, we are a tiny nonprofit news organization that continues to grow. Every dollar a reader donates helps us get closer to becoming a self-financed organization.
