Mountain Valor Foundation and Habitat for Humanity are joining forces to host an exhilarating skydiving event dedicated to raising funds for a wounded veteran's home in Corpus Christi, Texas.
This event pays tribute to Dr. Hector P. Garcia, a decorated World War II veteran, civil rights leader, and founder of the American GI Forum, who spent his life advocating for veterans and underserved communities.
By bringing together veterans, first responders, and supporters for this adrenaline-fueled experience, we aim to rally the community around a shared mission: providing a stable, affordable home for a veteran in need, ensuring that Dr. Garcia's legacy of service continues to impact lives.
