Empowering Youth
Through Education
In the past two years, we have awarded over $5,000 in scholarships to students from Dylan’s alma mater, Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga, California. These scholarships are granted to students who share their experiences of overcoming hardship and demonstrate a commitment to achieving higher education.

Building a Lasting Tribute: The Gold Star Monument
Our current project in Rancho Cucamonga, California, is the construction of a Gold Star Monument at Central Park. This monument will honor all service members who lost their lives in the line of duty, offering a place of reflection and remembrance for their families. We aim to raise $160,000 for this project, with a dedication ceremony planned for Memorial Day 2025.
Help us bring this tribute to life by donating or learning more about the monument here.
