Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What kinds of Charities do South Texas Charities, Inc. support?
There are a variety of charities benefiting from the funds raised by these
events. They range from feeding the homeless, caring for battered or abused women
and children, disease research or animal wildlife rescue. A complete listing
can be reviewed on our Charities page. Most all of these
charities are local to the San Antonio and surrounding area.
Will the "Invitations" act as admittance to the events?
The "Invitation", flyer or handout, will indicate whether a
ticket purchase is required or not. Generally, "Invitations" are NOT accepted as
admittance to events. Just read the invitation or visit our website page related to
a particular event for details. You must purchase tickets to those events that state
so on the invitation.
How do we obtain "tickets" to the events?
Invitations and Tickets can be obtained by contacting any of the STC Directors. You may now also purchase your tickets
"On-Line" using your credit card.
How much are the tickets?
The cost of each ticket will vary depending on which event is being held.
The ticket cost will be printed on the invitation or posted on this website for each
particular event.
Why are the costs ($) of the tickets
so low?
We "could" charge $50.00 - $150.00 or higher
for each ticket to raise money for a charity and the cost would include food, drink and
other amenities. However, many people would complain that they don't drink alcohol,
or they can't eat the food that is served, or some other reason that they think they are
paying for something that they don't indulge in. So, to accommodate all
patrons, the costs of the tickets were reduced and the food and drink were offered
as "ala carte", that is, pay for what you want, when you want it. This
allows us to raise funds for charities AND offer a grand dress up event to the average
middle income worker. YOU and me!!!
Is the cost of a ticket Tax Deductible?
Yes, proceeds go to legitimate charities and are tax deductible.
Save your ticket stub as your receipt. Although the ticket price may be minimal, you
may also donate more if you choose to do so. It will ALL go to charity.
How can I send in a Donation?
Merely click on the link "Send
Donation" found in either the header or footer menus on any
page.
