MAKING A DIFFERENCE,
ONE SCHOLARSHIP AT A TIME
–
In our inaugural year, the Ricky Ford Memorial Foundation has already begun fulfilling its mission of empowering future Aggies and strengthening our community.
2024 Achievements
The generosity of our community was extraordinary. Local businesses, churches, and individuals all came together in Ricky’s memory. Our Gentle Ben Night alone doubled projected contributions, demonstrating the profound impact Ricky had on Pearland and Alvin.
“Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide two students scholarships to further their education at Texas A&M University. It is through the kindness of businesses and individuals like you that we are able to continue blessing future Aggies and ensure that Ricky’s legacy lives on.”
