Eva’s Heroes is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with intellectual special needs by providing an inclusive setting built on four tenets: interact, grow, learn, and love. Based in San Antonio, the organization helps teens and young adults 14 and older, who have intellectual special needs, integrate and flourish in society. The organization was founded in 2006 by actress Eva Longoria and Board President Christiane Perkins-Garcia.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we can offer activities for families. We’ve given hundreds of tickets to sporting and community events. These activities vary as supporters make them available and are on a first-come, first-served basis for families.
These are rare opportunities for participants with intellectual special needs to participate with their families in fun community activities.
