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.
