Honoring a Legacy: Paul Ballard Keyser
We are deeply grateful for the lasting impact of Paul Ballard Keyser, a beloved supporter who included Guadalupe Center in his estate plans before passing in 2023. His generous legacy gift—presented by his children in front of our Early Learning Center—reflects Paul’s belief that early education transforms lives.
Paul’s children, inspired by their father’s lifelong commitment to our mission, toured our campus and saw the impact of his support firsthand. We’re honored they will continue his legacy, helping future generations of immigrant and refugee families thrive.
Paul’s life is a powerful reminder that one person’s generosity can shape the future. If you, like Paul, believe in the power of education, we invite you to consider making a legacy gift to Guadalupe Center. Your impact will change lives for generations to come
