Personal Invitation from Andrea Wollenzin to Sponsor the 2025 Art in The Garden Fundraiser
My name is Andrea Wollenzin, and I am the founder of Art in The Garden. This initiative was born from my deep desire to provide inner-city high school and college students with ministry, support, and a sense of community. Thanks to the generosity of donors and supporters like you, we have witnessed remarkable growth over the past few years.
Last year’s fundraiser allowed San Antonio Young Life East to hire two new staff leaders, enabling 28 kids to experience God’s presence at Crooked Creek camp through adventure and joy. I’m also thrilled to introduce our new board members: Melissa Chamrad, Director of Real Estate and Finance at Hemisfair; Ashley White, Marketing Director at Jason Glast Group; Jennifer Biechlin, Scholarship & Hardship Programs Manager for the San Antonio Area Foundation; and Thomas Hoeflinger, Attorney.
It’s i ncredibly exciting to see the fruits of our labor blossom, and I know this wouldn’t be possible without your support. I warmly invite you to be a sponsor for the 2025 Art in The Garden Fundraiser. Whether you are a new sponsor or one of our cherished returning partners, we are grateful and thrilled to have you with us for what promises to be our best year yet!
Art in The Garden has exceeded my wildest dreams, becoming an official FIESTA event last year and selling out 300 seats even before invitations were sent! Each edition is a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the strength of our community. Your support as a sponsor will not only enhance the success of this event but will also profoundly impact the lives it touches. Together, we can create meaningful change for those who attend and participate in Art in The Garden.
Our t eam would be honored to discuss the various sponsorship opportunities available and explore how your involvement can help us craft a truly memorable experience. Thank you for considering this heartfelt invitation. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating to make the 2025 Art in The Garden Fundraiser an unforgettable event.
Thank you, Andrea

Join us as a sponsor and you and your guests will revel in an evening of world class art complimented by dinner, drinks, and music.
Your support matters. Proceeds from this event go directly to Young Life East, a non-denominational ministry, that reaches out to adolescents (high school to college aged) living in poverty to build relationships, provide mentorships, and develop leadership skills. We provide meals, provide a safe environment to build meaningful community, and learn life skills through training. We aim to lead with a servant’s heart and set an example for our teens.
Last year, YLSA East served 500+ individuals out of our home site, “The Porch.” We have three staff members and eight volunteers, and we operate on an annual budget of $285,000. We rely on the generosity and support of individuals and organizations like yours. Art In the Garden is raising funds to support the $780 daily cost to operate YLSA East. We invite you to become a sponsor of this incredible mission.
Make your 2025 Fiesta count! Spend the evening with us during a celebratory time in our city where we can choose to give back to those who need it most in our community. Thank you for your continued support and choosing Young Life East as the beneificary of your generosity.
