In 2015 we established The Alex Cabrera Foundation  to help make Alex's dream of attending college a reality.

The year prior, Laura Cirillo Ventura had stumbled upon a photo from the '80s. In it her brother, Dr. Joseph Cirillo, and Alex Cabrera are seen at Daniel Webster Elementary School in Weehawken, New Jersey actively partaking in one of their favorite classes, lunch.  

After sharing the photo with Pura and Joe, a flood of positive memories arose and ultimately brought their two families close together and inspired them to create The Alex Cabrera Foundation.
