A Life of Service To His Friends & Community Rancher, banker, businessman, and community leader, Raul Tijerina, Jr. touched many lives across the wide reaches of the Rio Grande Valley. In life, he directed his resources and his efforts to the development and expansion of public causes and services, and to the enrichment of his fellow citizens with quality, accessible education.
In working with community organizations, he came to realize that the greatest resources in any community are the people and nonprofit organizations who volunteer their knowledge, skills, time and good-will in service to their friends and neighbors.
It was his dream to someday create an organization that would carry on, beyond his lifetime, the encouragement and support of these volunteers and public organizations who work unselfishly to strengthen and enhance the people and communities of south Texas.
