We support education …by empowering hundreds of students to further their education. Ruiz 4 Kids distributes thousands and thousands of dollars to qualifying high school seniors every year.
We understand the importance of education in improving the quality of life for local children and growing our future leaders. Ruiz 4 Kids scholarships transform the dream of attending college into reality for dozens of students within the communities where Ruiz Foods has a presence.
The Ruiz Invitational directly fuels the Ruiz 4 Kids Scholarship Program. Over the past 25 years, Ruiz 4 Kids has awarded over $1M in scholarships. This year’s event allowed Ruiz 4 Kids to award a record-setting $188,000 in scholarships to 176 college-bound high school seniors and the first 3 recipients of the Louis F. Ruiz Memorial Scholarship. Each recipient also received $180 in free El Monterey and Tornado product coupons.
Ruiz 4 Kids and Ruiz Foods are dedicated to making the dream of education a reality.
"Education is the foundation of the pillars of hope, integrity, expertise, and leadership we need in our communities,” said Chairman of Ruiz Foods and Ruiz 4 Kids President, Kim Ruiz Beck. “By awarding these scholarships we are letting these students know we believe in their ability to succeed."
The success of the Ruiz 4 Kids Scholarship Program is due to the annual Ruiz Golf Invitational which raises funds in order to make the dream of education a reality.
