Blue Cares
Blue Cares is the non-profit organization and the community outreach program of the San Antonio Police Officers Association (SAPOA). Our mission is to provide year-round services and assistance to underprivileged, low-income, at-risk children and their families.
To achieve our goals, Blue Cares works with local governmental and educational institutions, small and large local businesses, and other non-profit organizations. Blue Cares is primarily made up of three programs.

Back SA Blue
We created Back SA Blue to continue to build bridges with community organizations, neighborhoods, and people all across San Antonio. We love this city and we want to continue to build bridges with community organizations, neighborhoods, and people all across San Antonio. This is just one way we’re doing it.
Executive Board
Message from the President
For more than 10 years, I have been proud to serve you and work with our Executive Board to protect and promote a brotherhood among our members. To me, SAPOA is more than just a professional association, it’s a family, and like family, we all look out for each other. That’s why I’ve been so proud of everything we’ve been able to accomplish in the last few years. From negotiating a favorable contract with the city that protects officer’s rights and benefits, to working with our state legislature to ensure that they enact strong public safety laws, to supporting Blue Cares, SAPOA’s community outreach arm that helps children all across San Antonio, this has been a busy and productive year.
