Our medical practice style is unique and appeals primarily to a more sophisticated clientele such as those who attend theatrical and cultural events. In the past we have found it a waste of advertising dollars to attempt to reach our small target audience via the expensiveFor mass media. For the past several years the Performing Arts Advertising Information,Visit Program has proven to be a very cost-effective way for us to inform potential patients www.papiaustin.com about the more personal medical service we provide.

A World Apart, A Moment Together One World & TRIAD funds of the San Antonio Area Foundation Connecting Central Texas Military Families One World’s innovative performing arts summer camp program provided scholarships through TRIAD funds of the San Antonio Area Foundation to give kids the opportunity to be a part of the musical production of “Wizard of Oz.” When the campers took the stage every parent, no matter where they were located, including Iraq was able to see their child perform.

Using amazing video technology generously provided by a partnership with LifeSize Communications, seven military bases were connected to One World Theatre, so that parent and child could see, talk and interact with each other as if they were in the same room. After the performance, each child and their family was given the opportunity to talk privately with their loved one, keeping the bond of family alive across the miles.
