Rey Feo brings royal court to Donor Pavilion
Rey Feo LXXVI, Fabian Castillo Sr., made a special visit to South Texas Blood & Tissue’s Donor Pavilion on Wednesday. Accompanied by his royal court, Castillo donated blood, thanked staff, and awarded one of Fiesta’s highest honors—the Cabrito Medal—to the organization.
A lifesaving honor for South Texas Blood & Tissue
Castillo awarded the Cabrito Medal to recognize the organization’s lifesaving work in the community. Only 100 of these medals are given out each year by the Rey Feo, making it a rare and meaningful honor.
“I’m honored to give this Cabrito to the blood bank,” Castillo said while reclining in the donor chair. “It’s a way to thank them for all the blood they’ve given to the community.”
