MISSION

The mission of the Angel Buys program is to support and promote career advancement opportunities in the hospitality industry while giving back to the community.

Deals and certificates on this site have been donated by members of the San Antonio Hotel and Lodging Association to fund educational scholarships that support the future leaders of our industry. Since 2005, the San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association has raised over $500,000 for charitable institutions in the San Antonio area.

IMPACT

Angel Buys is SAHLA’s most important annual fundraiser, supporting the educational component of our mission, aiding the best and brightest college students, like Anesa Sankar and Richard Bundick. Anesa and Richard are the first two graduates of the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel & Restaurant Management at the University of Houston – San Antonio Campus.

 

“My experience in San Antonio and with the members of the San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association has been so special. Your Endowment and generosity has inspired me to be involved in my industry and help others achieve their goals just as you have helped me.” ~ Anesa Sankar

 

“Since moving to San Antonio and becoming a SAHLA member, I have had a personal interest and commitment to the Angel Buys program. I am proud to support Angel Buys and the impact it has on the future of our industry.” ~ Bill Petrella, General Manager of The Hotel Emma, SAHLA Chairman of the Board
