San Antonio, TX - Local 782, the San Antonio Music Coalition, announces their Holiday Mixer; third annual holiday celebration. The event is being sponsored by KSYM 90.1FM and also serves as a toy and clothing drive for Boysville Children’s Home of San Antonio.

Since 2008, Local 782 has hosted an annual Christmas-time party open to the city’s music community, organizations, and supporters.

Guests should bring new clothes and toys for boys and girls, from infants to young adult; gifts need not be wrapped. San Antonio College’s student-run radio station KSYM 90.1FM is sponsoring the event.
Local 782 was established to bring awareness, support, and innovation to San Antonio’s music community - uniting musicians to create opportunity by organizing, educating, and performing. Since the group’s inception, Local 782 has established itself as a service to San Antonio’s music community through an ongoing series of workshops with a focus on a Do-It-Yourself approach to a career in the music industry. Local 782 provides resources and opportunities to aspiring musicians through an expanding network of supporting organizations and businesses.
