Portrait of Success
Douglas Garcia, Class of 1997, was born in San Miguel, El Salvador, as the youngest of five Garcia brothers who came to the United States in search of opportunity. Doug followed a strong family tradition of recognizing the value of hard work and education. His father worked first as a dishwasher, then chef, and later opened his own family restaurant where Doug and his brothers helped out when they were not studying.

The Honorees
The event features the Portraits of Success, a tribute to five former scholarship recipients. Each of these honorees has made significant academic, professional and personal contributions to their community and to their profession. They are an inspiration to our present scholarship recipients and a testimony to the value of the support the community sends with our students.
The Guests
More than 600 guests who attend the event are a cross-section of our community business leaders, government and elected officials, the Alexandria City Public Schools, and the community at large. All share a desire to invest in our community by providing our young people the opportunity to pursue a post-secondary education.
