The Jaime & Blanca Jarrín Foundation, in partnership with Los Defensores, awarded more than $50,000 in scholarships to underserved college students pursuing careers in law and journalism at the annual Wine Night at the Ravine gala at Dodger Stadium. The event theme, "The Power of Believing," emphasized affirmation, mentorship and cultural pride for underserved Latino students. Supporters, students, industry and civic leaders attended an evening of food, wine and community. Proceeds fund scholarships and mentorship programs that help empower underserved students. Since inception, the foundation has raised over $225,000. Nomar Garciaparra and Jon Soohoo were recognized as honorees.
It is great to have so many people responding to our invitation to come here and pay tribute to Nomar Garciaparra and Jon Soohoo.
Nomar Garciaparra was a great former player in the Major Leagues, and Jon Soohoo has been the official photographer for more than 40 years. So for our foundation, it's great to have the opportunity to pay our respect to them and recognize the winners of the scholarships we're giving this year.
I'm humbled by the fact the family wants to honor me at an event li
