“Providing college scholarships to student athletes Valley wide” We, the parents, family, and friends of the late Jorge Rolando “Roly” Gutierrez, in an effort to provide college scholarships in his memory, will be hosting our 1st Annual Jorge Rolando Gutierrez Foundation Skeet Shoot Fundraiser. Thanks to you, our past events have been a huge success and we have been able to award over $100,000 in scholarships in Roly’s name. We look forward to having your continued support. This year’s event will be held at the Barco Ranch in Elsa on Saturday, April 21, 2018. We would like to take this opportunity to ask for your participation in this fundraiser in the form of a sponsorship. On the attached page, you will find an explanation of the possible sponsorships available to you. For those of you who may not know, we lost Roly in a tragic boating accident on June 13, 2005. Roly loved coaching and was very passionate about teaching and gearing his students towards a higher education. It has been difficult for those of us who love and knew him, and we would like to carry on his legacy and honor him by providing financial assistance to Rio Grande Valley high school athletes. We would like to thank you for this opportunity. It is your donation that will make this possible. All sponsorship money will go directly to the Jorge Rolando Gutierrez Foundation and all scholarships will be awarded in May of each year. The recipients for 2017 were; Carlos Calleja – McAllen High School, Michael Mata – McAllen Memorial High School, Justice Martinez – Robert Vela High School, Erin Quiroz – Robert Vela High School, Canaan Vasquez – Edcouch-Elsa High School, Ellora Vela – La Joya High School. Once again, thank you for your support in establishing this legacy. Roly’s spirit and love for students will continue through these scholarships that you help support.
