Daniel Chapa Memorial Foundation

09/03/2026

Today was an incredibly special and meaningful day for the Daniel Chapa Memorial Foundation. A day our family will never forget. ❤️

We had the honor of presenting scholarships to the children of two ArcelorMittal employees, surrounded by many of Daniel’s former coworkers and friends.

ArcelorMittal was more than a workplace to Daniel, it became a second home and family. Their support during Daniel’s time with them, after his passing, and as the Presenting Sponsor of our annual golf tournament for the past years has meant more to our family than we could ever express. Being able to give back to families within a company that has given so much to ours was incredibly meaningful.

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of those who surround us, and those who continue to support The Daniel Chapa Memorial Foundation.

Feature Friday ⭐️

So proud to spotlight this one. Jason Rodriguez is doing amazing in college and continuing to grow both academically and personally. From staying focused in his coursework to managing his responsibilities, he’s putting in the work every day.

He’s also joined Sigma Chi, building strong connections and leadership skills, while staying active on campus. On top of that, he’s committed to powerlifting and putting in serious discipline in the gym.

He’s currently working toward his electrical engineering degree, and even though it’s not easy, he’s staying motivated and focused on his future. Big things ahead!

Flashback to Saturday!
The 3rd Annual Daniel Chapa Memorial Golf Tournament brought the perfect mix of competition and fun. The weather showed up for us, and so did an incredible group of people. We appreciate everyone who came out and made it such a memorable day! 💚💛

The 3rd Annual Daniel Chapa Memorial Golf Tournament was another truly memorable event.

While the fun has wrapped up, we’ve already pivoted to reviewing applications and preparing for upcoming scholarship nights. These scholarships—made possible through this event—would not exist without so many moving pieces coming together.

Planning begins the very day after the previous tournament ends. Our board members spend countless hours over several months working through every detail. Lead volunteers commit fully to their roles, seeing things through with incredible dedication. Volunteers step in wherever needed, lifting the load and making it all happen.

Throughout the process, materials are printed, items are donated, sponsors generously give, and teams register. On the day of the event, ceremonies begin with a prayer, the national anthem, and Daniel’s children hitting the first ball. Music plays as golfers compete on the course. Cooks prepare meals for golfers to enjoy, and volunteers bag and serve them. Creative prizes are donated for the silent auction. Door prizes are given in hopes of surprising a participant with a special gift. The course staff shows up knowing it will be a long, busy day—and they give their all.

Most importantly, Daniel’s children look forward to this event all year as a way to honor their dad.

It is truly a beautiful labor of love—one that honors Daniel’s legacy while giving back to our community.

“Empowering youth, inspiring futures.”
In loving memory of Daniel.

Thank you all again for everything you have done. 💚
