Roadrunner Memorial Dedication Tomorrow

February 08, 2018

Tomorrow we will dedicate the Roadrunner Memorial Garden on campus and we hope you're planning to join us. 

The ceremony will take place at 2:00.  The garden location is near the UTSA Oval, in front of the North Paseo Building where VIA and the shuttle buses stop on the NW side of Main Campus.

If it rains, our indoor location will be the Business Building University Room.

If you cannot join us, please visit https://www.facebook.com/WeAreUTSA/ to watch a live stream of the event.

Thank you for donating to the Roadrunner Memorial Garden project!

Thank you again for making the UTSA Roadrunner Memorial Garden possible.

Construction is scheduled to break ground on Monday, September 25, and expected to be completed this spring. Your generosity is giving Roadrunner Nation a special place on campus to commemorate the lives of loved ones, and we can’t wait to share it with you! Be on the lookout for future details regarding a dedication ceremony.

Thank you! Because of you, we raised over $34,000 for the Roadrunner Memorial Garden. Thank you to everyone who made a donation.

On this journey, we met with so many Roadrunners who told us the memorial garden is truly a special initiative to our community. Because of you, the UTSA community, this project will finally become a reality.

With 3 days left, we are already over 100% funded! Thank you for helping us reach our goal. This is a historic moment for UTSA, and we are so proud to be a part of it. This shows that Roadrunners can accomplish great things when we work together.

Please continue to share our project with other Roadrunners: https://fund.utsa.edu/OurPlace. Gifts that exceed the goal will be applied to the project for future improvements and care for the sacred space on campus.

Stopping by to say thank you

October 28, 2016

Last week, SGA stopped by the 7th Annual Thanks Day celebration to sign a Texas-sized card and thank all the donors who have given to make UTSA a better place—that includes you!

We are almost halfway to our goal, and we can’t thank you enough for helping us get this far. In order to reach half of our fundraising goal TODAY, we ask that you spread the word about our message. If each one of our 80 donors recruits just one additional $29 donor, then we will reach 50% today!

Would you please help us once again by sharing our story with your Roadrunner colleagues and friends? https://fund.utsa.edu/OurPlace

Thank you!

Thank you for creating traditions

October 20, 2016

Thank you to everyone who has shown their support so far. We are one week into the Roadrunner Memorial Garden project and have reached nearly a third of the goal!

Many of the gifts have been made in memory of Roadrunners who have passed, so you can already see there is a real need for this memorial space. Students, alumni, faculty, staff and parents have made gifts ranging from $5 to $1,000—all donations will make a difference.

Please continue to share our message with your fellow Roadrunners, family and friends and help us create this sacred tradition.

Thank you!
