For Immediate Release:
Ripley’s to Donate to First Responders During National Tourism Week
San Antonio, TX (April 30, 2019) – Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in San Antonio will host the 18th Annual Salute to San Antonio First Responders at an event on Tuesday, May 7th at 11:00 AM.
A tradition since 2001, Ripley’s is saluting San Antonio First Responders to acknowledge and appreciate their active efforts in the community with a $4,000 donation to the Fire and Police Departments of San Antonio.
“Tourism contributes substantially to the economy of San Antonio,” said Clay Stewart, Director, Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. “We picked National Tourism Week to donate to First Responders because the tourism industry couldn’t thrive without the people behind-the-scenes, making our community safe for visitors.”
