This year, we proudly awarded scholarships to 20 outstanding students from across the DFW area, representing schools such as Cristo Rey, Trimble Tech, North Side High School, and many other Fort Worth ISD campuses. Investing in the next generation is at the heart of MACE's mission, and we are honored to support these students as they pursue their educational and professional dreams.

We were privileged to have Dr. Rodriguez serve as our guest speaker. He shared his inspiring life journey, highlighting not only his professional accomplishments but also the values that matter most: family, mentorship, and service to others. He reminded us that true success is measured by the lives we impact. One example of that impact is Dr. Sam Davila, whom he mentored as a student and who is now a practicing physician serving the Fort Worth community.

Today, Dr. Sam Davila serves as MACE's President, while Dr. Rodriguez continues to give back as a dedicated board member. Together, they embody the power of mentorship, leadership, and community service that our organization strives to promote.

This event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Their continued commitment to MACE and our scholarship program allows us to invest in students year after year. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and belief in our mission.

We would also like to recognize our Vice President, Melissa Martinez Dominguez, whose vision, leadership, and dedication were instrumental in making this event a success. From the moment she joined our organization, Melissa brought a passion for strengthening and elevating MACE. Her guidance, hard work, and commitment to serving our community helped bring this event to life, and we are incredibly thankful for all she does.

Together, our sponsors, board members, volunteers, and supporters make it possible for MACE to continue creating opportunities, building leaders, and giving back to the communities we proudly serve.
