  "Because of the massive scope and historic nature of the river improvements project, corporations and individuals understand the legacy implications of this momentous undertaking and want to be involved at the ground level," said Edward "Sonny" Collins, III, chairman of the San Antonio River Foundation.
  
  As important to the foundation as corporate giving is leadership. ith Abernethy, a seasoned fundraiser and enthusiastic executive director at the helm, and a board of directors consisting of 25 dedicated members that have collectively given over $1 million to support the project, the San Antonio River Foundation is a driving force that will bring public art, green spaces, education and cultural amenities to the city.
  
  "You could not ask for a more dedicated and invested group of individuals to lead this organization towards its ultimate goal of raising $50 million for improvements, enhancements and educational niches," said Collins.

  This investment in our river, accompanied by the dynamic mixed-use development of Rio Perla itself as a northern anchor, is igniting a flurry of private-sector interest in an area of town that has languished for far too long," said Sonny Collins, President of the River Foundation.
  ...
  The River Foundation is committed to enhance the entire length of the River Improvements Project - from Hildebrand to Mission Espada - with the unique-to-San Antonio art and amenities envisioned in the Public Art Master Plan developed by environmental artist Lorna Jordan, said Collins.

  Sonny Collins, the river foundation's president, compared the improvements project with Chicago's Millennium Park, which has seen the value of surrounding land increase $1.4 billion, with increased tourism expected to bring in another $2.6 billion over the next decade.
  
  That success will allow Chicago to pay off $285 million in bonds it issued to help pay for the park three to five years early, Collins said.
  
  "The numbers are mind-boggling," he said.
  ...
  Collins said another $2.5 million has been raised since then.
  ...
  A program to sell pavers, like those on Houston Street downtown, could add another $8 million to $12 million, Collins said.
  
  Collins hopes the economic-impact report will help the public understand how much the city stands to gain from the project.
  
  "I want people to be as enthusiastic about 'my river'" he said, "as they are about 'my Spurs.'"
