Canales added. “They eagerly come
and are happy to give back.”
Looking ahead to the future of
South Texas Charity Weekend, the
group of co-chairs like to say: “If
it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” With a
decades-long tradition of giving,
the charity weekend continues its
proven record of doing good.
And it’s thanks to its dedicated
group of volunteers and leaders,
each year which make South Texas
Charity Weekend a success. One
volunteer in particular, Darrell
Nordeen, is a tireless devotee who
has served the event for years
behind the scenes, which surely
would not run as smoothly without
his oversight.

Co-Chairs of South Texas Charity Weekend
It’s because of his passion and
the passion of the many others
involved in the South Texas
Charity Weekend that the
popular event continues to attract
hundreds of donors each year who
are more than willing to build up
the community.
“The fact that this event draws
in people from all over the United
States and raises a lot of money to
help make our community better is
amazing. We’re all really proud of
that,” Colston said.
