Parachuting For A Purpose
Dr. Hector P. Garcia's lifelong commitment to ensuring that veterans, especially those from marginalized communities, received the benefits they deserved makes this cause deeply meaningful. In his honor, this event will serve as a catalyst for change—helping a wounded veteran achieve homeownership while raising awareness for the ongoing needs of those who have served.

The Foundation continues to support students
We are proud of our relationship with UTMB Galveston and contributing to the success of the many students the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Foundation supports.
