Transporting Missions with Purpose

April Ancira takes the meaning of “transporting a mission” to an entirely new level. For more than a decade April has been a champion to Brighton Center’s mission – providing developmental and educational services to children with ALL abilities. In fact, one year she was our very own Queen of the Vine for Taste of the Northside. That was fun! But her greatest impact has been on the Brighton Center Board of Directors. Her selfless, countless hours advocating for the families Brighton Center serves has ensured more children receive the right help at the right time.

Earlier this week April surprised Brighton Center with a $100,000 gift from Ancira Auto Group to help even more children with disabilities and developmental delays! April, we are in awe of you and completely filled with gratitude!! When we asked April what inspires her to give so generously to Brighton Center, and other organizations, she said “Getting people what they need is what I love to do.”.

Thank you, Ancira Auto Group and April Ancira for moving missions in San Antonio.

Without these services, we would not be able to communicate with our daughter. Brighton Center's Early Childhood Intervention services are invaluable to families like ours.
