"Desperate Housewives" actress Eva Longoria who's had first hand experience with a loved one suffering from a disability, is working to get more funding towards her beloved charity, Eva's Heroes.Eva wrote on her charity website in reference to her sister, "I was extremely fortunate to grow up with an intellectually disabled sister. "My mother became a special education teacher because of her and therefore I have been involved with all facets of this disability since I could walk and talk."
According to Access Hollywood, Longoria will serve as this year’s grand marshal of the Texas Cavaliers River Parade during San Antonio’s Fiesta, the biggest event of the Alamo City’s social calendar.
The festival organizers are expecting about 250,000 people to watch the parade with proceeds from the event will go to 40 charities, including Eva Longoria's own Eva's Heroes.
Longoria's Eva's Heroes is based in San Antonio, Texas and helps teens and young adults who were born with developmental disabilities.
