Excel Beyond the Bell San Antonio began in 2012 as a professional network to develop and ensure standards for five-star youth development programs and to ensure young people in Bexar County have access to the developmental relationships they need to succeed.

Data provided to the network from local school districts helps all partners better understand young people in their organizations and it empowers youth development leaders to not just anecdotally know why developmental relationships are important — it provides them with evidence on which to base organizational decisions.

As a charity, The Orthopedic Kneed Foundation relies on the support of sponsors like you. To accomplish our goal of continued orthopedic care for injured youth, we need financial contributions.

We continue to treat and be approached by or informed of children in need of assistance in getting optimal care for injuries. Your donation makes a difference.

The easiest way to help is through our Pay Pal Donate Now link, where you can set up an annual or monthly payment no matter how large or small. You can also purchase our FIESTA MEDALS here online by contacting us or pick one up at either of the two offices of Sports, Occupational & Knee Surgery during Fiesta Season.

Like us on FACEBOOK and find out about other charity events at various local restaurants too! Click here to make all your Amazon purchases and a percentage will go to us!

We are always interested in adding volunteers to our Board of Directors. We have fun biannual meetings where we discuss various avenues for sponsorships and fundraising events. Please contact us if interested!

Contributions are made payable to: The Orthopedic Kneed Foundation.
