In 1970, Leo Aguilar was a senior and a member of the Fighting Falcons football team of Los Fresnos High School. In late September 1970, Leo was injured during football practice and passed away 10 days later. Since 1971, in honor of Leo’s leadership and commitment to his community, the Leo Aguilar Memorial Scholarship Fund has been awarding scholarships to students of Los Fresnos High School to help further their education. Please join us in this very worthy cause.
