From chairing Amegy Bank’s Annual Campaign to volunteering with beneficiary organizations, April has been involved with United Way for over 15 years. The Bailey family only recently relocated from Houston to San Antonio for April to take on the role of Market President for Amegy Bank. They have settled in nicely, exploring local parks and trails with their dog, Hero, enjoying the scenery at La Cantera Spa, and embracing the local culinary scene (they recommend Soluna for enchiladas and chispas!)

April and Kevin appreciate the rigorous accountability that United Way demonstrates alongside the compassionate solutions and vital services it provides to the community, citing United Way’s 211 helpline as the community’s top resource to help struggling individuals and families with immediate needs. Committed to community service themselves, this year the Baileys have enjoyed volunteer opportunities with Kinetic Kids, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children with special needs through sports and educational programs. Their involvement with this organization has allowed them to help foster confidence, courage and joy in young people through art and athletic projects.

The Bailey family is looking forward to a busy fall: son, Jackson, is a junior at Central Catholic High School, gearing up for a promising varsity basketball season, and daughter, Isa, began her sophomore year at University of Texas at Austin. Isa just joined the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, and the whole family is eager to join her for Longhorns football and family weekends. Balancing these busy schedules is always a challenge, but April and Kevin tackle it as a team, always working together to support each other and their goals.

April brings that team-forward approach into her work as well, “I think sharing our personal stories of why we give is important. Team building events where we can give back and volunteer makes a difference. I hope that I can continue to encourage those around me to volunteer and support our community, especially as an organization.”
