Paso del Norte Community Foundation

A meaningful legacy is built not only by what we leave behind, but by the values we pass on.

This Father’s Day, we celebrate the fathers and father figures who teach generosity, kindness, and a commitment to helping others. Their influence extends far beyond their own families, helping build stronger communities for generations to come.

Thank you to the fathers whose example inspires us to serve others, give back, and create opportunities throughout the Paso del Norte region.

Happy Father’s Day!

Match Day Recap 💼✨

Fifteen students. Fifteen organizations. One mission: to find their perfect summer match. 🤝💙

At this year’s Community Impact Summer Internship Match Day, students and organizations came together for a fast-paced, connection-filled experience. ⚡ Each participant had just four minutes to meet, make an impression, and discover who they might be destined to work alongside for 280 hours this summer. ☀️⏱️

By the end of Match Day, students and organizations submitted their top three choices, hoping to find the match that would lead to a summer of learning, growth, and community impact. 🌱💼

The Community Impact Summer Internship Program is in collaboration with Workforce Solutions Borderplex and presented by Bank of America and Union Pacific,. 🙌 Workforce Solutions Borderplex

Stay tuned… because next week, we reveal this year’s matches! 👀💙✨

🎓 Congratulations to the 2026 Jim Omohundro Courageous Leadership Award & Scholarship recipients!

Please join us in celebrating Oscar Lopez, Job DeSantos, Madison McGuire, and Jasmine Vasquez, who have each been awarded a $10,000 scholarship to support their higher education goals.

Created by Ryan Omohundro in honor of his father, Jim, this scholarship recognizes students who lead by example, work hard, support others, and make a positive difference in their communities. Oscar, Job, Madison, and Jasmine each reflect those qualities in their own unique way.

We are grateful to Ryan and the Omohundro family for investing in the next generation of leaders and for honoring Jim's memory through opportunities that help students pursue their dreams.

Congratulations to these outstanding students. We can't wait to see where their journeys take them next. ✨

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Hal Marcus on what would have been his 75th birthday. 🎨✨

For more than five decades, Hal inspired our community through his art, mentorship, and belief in the power of creativity to bring people together. In honor of his legacy, the Hal Marcus Art Foundation will continue supporting public art, arts education, cultural preservation, and future generations of artists throughout the Borderland.

As Hal often said: "Do what you love, and do it every day."

To honor his life and legacy, make a gift today ✨
