Supporting Our Youth

We had such a great evening, supporting James at his senior year theater showcase “Friday Night Live”at Archie Williams high school! Not only did we get to enjoy the hilarious skits put on by this incredibly talented group, but we also got to spend time with a few of our amazing Matt Garcia Foundation volunteers and our dear friends, Vince and Sheila.

Before the show, we shared a great meal at Toast in Novato, The perfect way to kick off a memorable night in San Anselmo.

So glad we could be there to laugh, connect, and support!

About The Matt Garcia Foundation

Matt Garcia was a man with a vision. He was the youngest city councilman elected in the state of California in November 2007, and a great young leader and inspiration to all who knew him. He was sworn in December 2007 and was on the council for nearly 10 months when he was killed. Matt was only 22 years old… but he lived more in those short years than many adults can even imagine. He led by inspiration, with integrity and ambition. Matt’s dream involved supporting the youth and creating places for them to go and things for them to do; turning away from the violence and crime in the city; and uniting the community so that all people will have a sense of belonging and responsibility to the city of Fairfield. Matt’s life was cut short, but his legacy, work and heart live on.

The Matt Garcia Foundation non-profit 501 (c) (3), was established to carry out Matt’s dream. We are dedicated to the work and efforts that Matt started, and hope that we can inspire others to do more, just as Matt inspired us.
