La Cantera Resort & Spa, in partnership with Chandon, sets a fresh and jubilant tone for its annual Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony on Plaza San Saba to be held on Thursday, December 2 from 6p.m. to 9p.m. The Plaza San Saba is located just off the Resort’s main lobby. Santa and Grinch will light the tree at 7:15p.m. (La Cantera Resort & Spa, 2021)

Contemporary jazz musician and composer Nelson Rangell takes center stage at the event. Rangell is hailed as one of the most exciting and diverse performers in the genre, equally adept at soprano, alto and tenor saxophone, as well as being a genuine virtuoso on flute and piccolo.

The Grinch wants to steal hearts, so be on guard when he takes the stage with his dancing troupe – the Grinchettes, followed by Santa for the lighting of the tree.

Tickets are $5 for adults, $2 for children, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas. To purchase tickets and for Holiday event details, visit La Cantera Resort & Spa online.

In observance of Children’s Grief Awareness Month, La Cantera Resort & Spa is hosting the ultimate Teddy Bear Brunch experience at Signature Restaurant at La Cantera Resort & Spa on Saturday November 13 from 10a.m. to 2p.m., reservations required. Benefitting Children’s Bereavement Center, this brunch aims to educate, advocate and raise awareness about the needs of grieving children, teens, and their families by focusing on the good works of Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas. (La Cantera Resort & Spa, 2021)

For most children and adults, the Teddy Bear is a symbol of love and security, a source of comfort when they sleep and a form of protection when they are awake and feeling vulnerable. Build-A-Bear Foundation has donated 100 Teddy Bears to the Children’s Bereavement Center via the Teddy Bear Brunch. La Cantera is hoping to match that gift by asking guests to bring a brand-new Teddy Bear for donation to the Center.

Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas is so much more than a place where grieving children go to heal; it is a place of transformation. The Center serves thousands of children, caregivers, and community members through ongoing counseling, education, and support groups provided at no cost to the children and families served. Because Teddy Bears are an important part of the mission at Children’s Bereavement Center, every child starts their journey at the Center with a bear, to remind them that they are not alone in their journey through grief.

The Resort’s goal is to collect 100 Teddy Bears matching the Build-A-Bear Foundation donation for a total of 200 bears for the Center’s Holiday gift exchange with the children they serve.

One hundred percent of proceeds from the Teddy Bear Brunch will benefit Children’s Bereavement Center. Tickets are $75 for adults, $45 for children, please call Signature 210-247-0176, Tuesday through Sunday after 1p.m. to make reservations.
