The
Chris Ruiz Foundation

Empowering Dreams

The Christopher Ruiz Memorial Scholarship, established by Mrs. Michelle Ruiz-Hernandez, is a wonderful opportunity to alleviate the educational cost to prospective student welders. The primary goal of this scholarship fund will be to use donations in providing financial assistance to students pursuing a post-secondary education in welding.

Our mission is to honor the memory of Christopher Ruiz by providing opportunities for education and growth to deserving individuals. We believe that education is a transformative force that can create a positive impact in our communities.

OUR MISSION

OUR PRAYER

John 16:33 is a meaning of hope for all to overcome all trials and issues you may be facing. Christopher was doing just that. He was a few months short of becoming a First Generation College Graduate with his Associates Degree in Welding. His dream since the age of three. Now we are able to help others get to their goals by providing Scholarships in his name with your purchase of this item.

ABOUT US

Christopher Ruiz

We would like to thank everyone that has supported us in this new journey.  Chris was the bright light in our world that was unexpectedly put out.  Christopher was born on 6/28/04 and passed away on 6/9/24. He was an amazing son, an adoring brother to his sister Sonia,  he aspired to be like his older brothers Lauro, and Aaron. Christopher had so many role models such as his Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and most importantly his Godparents.  He was involved in the Edge Program as a Junior High Student, and Life Teen as a High School Student with St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Robstown, TX.  He attended Religious Education at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Robstown, TX.  He was a proud Graduate of Robstown Early College High School Class of 2023.  He also Graduated with his Level 1 Welding Certificate at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, TX.  He was in the first week of his final semester to be eligible for his Associates Degree in Welding also with Del Mar College. On behalf of Mr. Lauro Hernandez and Mrs. Michelle Ruiz-Hernandez we can not thank everyone enough for all the encouragement to continue in the path of keeping his memory alive.
