⭐𝑺𝑨𝑨𝑯𝑱 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕⭐ We are excited to announce that this year's recipient of the Corazon de Oro Award is Carmen Tafolla, award-winning poet and children’s author, and named State Poet Laureate of Texas in 2015. A native of San Antonio’s West Side, Carmen is the definition of this year's gala theme, Voces de San Antonio, bringing to life Hispanic culture through her poetry, short stories, children's books and literature work. Launched in 2014, SAAHJ’s Corazón de Oro Award honors an individual whose work and leadership reflects positively on the U.S. Latino experience and/or who explores Latino perspectives. The Corazón de Oro Award was conceived as an award for San Antonians (and potentially non-San Antonians) who have made a national impact on the U.S. Latino community philanthropically, politically, culturally, educationally, or socially. Recipients make significant financial or social contributions that influence U.S. Latinos. Recipients each have “un corazón de oro,” referring to the Mexican or Spanish-language phrase, someone with a heart of gold. Congratulations, Carmen! We can’t wait to celebrate you at our SAAHJ scholarship gala on Saturday, Aug. 10!
