The Brunch is back! Jump-Start Performance Co. presents BRUNCH OF CHAMPIONS: FAMILIA on Sunday, March 17, 2024 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at La Tuna Icehouse at 100 Probandt Street. Three outstanding families of champions will be celebrated for their service to our community and dedication to the arts. Tickets are $25 and are available at jump-start.org. Proceeds from this fundraising event will support the artistic programming of Jump-Start’s
2024 – 2025 season. For more information call 210-227-JUMP(5867).
Exemplifying the Jump-Start pillars of Creativity, Courage and Connection, the 2024 champions are Ruby Nelda Perez and Jorge Piña with daughters MayaLuna and Alma Victoria Piña; Lilla Geisler Bernal and children Robin and Carlos Bernal; and Suzanne Martinez and Michael Berrier with daughters Philippa and Ruby Martinez-Berrier. Each family has a rich history of artistry and arts and culture advocacy and has been a friend to Jump-Start for many years.
Los Nahuatlatos will provide entertainment while attendees enjoy breakfast tacos (including a vegan choice), orange juice, mimosas, Irish coffee, sweet treats and more. A silent auction will take place throughout the Brunch with art and other desirable goodies to choose from. Hint: thank you, Pig Liquors, for the donation!
