Many of you know that helping young people go to college is something I care deeply about. In 2007, I first came across the story of a generous, kind-hearted man named Catalino Tapia - a gardener by day and a philanthropist by night.
Inspired by his son’s law school graduation, he started a scholarship foundation to ensure more diverse, low-income students could achieve their dreams of a college education. To date he has helped hundreds of students and he continues to inspire others to join his noble mission. His story, which has traveled around the world, is a reminder that each one of us can make a difference.
I would like to invite you to join me and Catalino Tapia, el Jardinero de las Becas, as the foundation works to award 50 students this coming year, the highest number of students in one year!
In honor of my birthday on November 9th, will you join me? I will match every donation made up to $2,500. Thank you for celebrating my birthday in this special way!
