Overview
Mission
The organization's primary exempt purpose/mission is to empower the whole person through sports, physical health, and spiritual wellness and to promote pride in the eastside of San Antonio, by creating connectivity in our community, stimulating sportsmanship, and modeling integrity. The organization contributes to the sustainability of the Wheatley Heights Sports Complex, provides programs that affirm personal dignity, and creates initiatives that promote positive life skills and prepares our participants for responsible citizenship, lifelong learning, and community leadership.

What it reported doing in 2025
The organization continued its mission of strengthening the Eastside community through youth development, community engagement, educational outreach, and cultural enrichment programs conducted at the Wheatley Heights Sports Complex. In February 2025, the organization hosted a Stakeholders Summit and community luncheon for members of the Community of Churches for Social Action, board leadership, and community stakeholders to provide updates regarding programs, activities, facility improvements, and future initiatives taking place at the Wheatley Heights Sports Complex. Approximately 10 individuals, including 3 members of the Board of Directors, participated in the planning and informational session. The gathering focused on strengthening collaborative relationships, increasing community awareness of available programs, and engaging stakeholders in discussions regarding the long-term vision and continued development of programs and services benefiting the Eastside community. In May 2025, the organization hosted a Mothers Day Tea Party celebrating mothers and families within the community. The event provided a positive, family-centered gathering designed to promote community fellowship, appreciation, and social connection among residents of all ages. A total of 29 individuals attended the event, including 20 adults and 9 youth participants. The program encouraged intergenerational engagement and reinforced the organizations commitment to community wellness, family support, and community unity. In December 2025, the organization held its Inaugural Youth Sports Hall of Fame Brunch to recognize individuals whose dedication and service have significantly impacted youth athletics and youth development within the community. Approximately 216 individuals attended the event, which honored four community leaders who have contributed to the growth, mentorship, and advancement of youth through sports and community involvement. Proceeds from the event supported youth sports initiatives and programs aimed at promoting leadership development, character building, teamwork, wellness, and community pride among youth participants.
Operating model

The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
