The Guilds of Segerstrom Cen- ter raises funds to support the center's community engagement and arts education programs. Ron Esparza, above center, with his City and County of Orange Procla- mations, is surrounded by his family and supporters. Esparza, longtime community leader and volunteer, was honored by the City of Orange and Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner as the inaugural Hispanic- American recipient of the National Hispanic Heritage Month award for his profound influence and many contributions to the community as an entrepreneur, an El Modena High alum, through many volunteer posi- tions and board positions, through sports and the arts. The award was given on the 100th anniversary of his grandparents' 1924 immigration from Mexico. They, he says, taught him to first “show up” and then help. Ron Esparza credits his family, from left, daughter Maya, wifeMarchelle, son Jaden and daughter Marisa, as his motivation to be a better person and reach out to assist in the community.
