MS. VIKKI CARR FEATURED IN THE SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS
Holy Cross’ “Angel of Holy Cross,” Vikki Carr has been a longtime supporter of Holy Cross of San Antonio. When the Holy Cross of San Antonio was on the brink of closing, the Brothers of Holy Cross met with Ms. Carr and asked for her help with a benefit concert to save the school. Impressed by the Holy Cross Brothers, she agreed to help. According to the San Antonio Express-News, she performed numerous benefit concerts for Holy Cross since 1968, when she first learned it was in danger of closing.
Brother Stanley Culotta is quoted is the San Antonio Express-News article as saying, “She put the spotlight on Holy Cross when we needed it the most. Best of all, she recognizes that education is extremely important. And she is so proud to hear when students are funded under her own scholarship.” Ms. Carr, who established the Vikki Carr Scholarship Foundation in 1971, was Holy Cross’ first female honorary graduate.

Softball Tournament Update:
Alumni: thanks for your patience as our committee has been meeting to go through the logistics for continuing the tournament on June 6th and June 7th. If all teams remaining participate then we will definitely need both days to host semi-final and final rounds through Sunday, so please plan accordingly.
The new brackets should be posted today or by tomorrow, but until then you should anticipate a full Saturday and and half-Sunday of games. Captains, we will be reaching out to you this weekend to confirm your participation.
Lastly, we’ve received numerous responses about tent set-up, beer and BBQ’ing that weekend. We are meeting as a team this week to discuss all of those items and will update you by this Friday with additional details.
Thanks again for your support of Holy Cross. Our Softball Committee looks forward to working with you all in having a great tournament experience.
