Joe Joe Bear Foundation

Introducing Our New Executive Director: Marco Garcia

The Joe Joe Bear Foundation is thrilled to welcome Marco Garcia as our new Executive Director. Marco brings a wealth of experience, dedication, and a profound personal journey that aligns perfectly with our mission.

About Marco Garcia

Born in Mexico and raised in El Paso, TX, Marco’s journey is a testament to resilience and determination. Growing up below the poverty level as an immigrant, Marco's family faced numerous challenges. Despite these hurdles, he chose to serve his country, joining the Army at 17. His service included three combat tours in Iraq and a transition to becoming an Army officer after earning a Bachelor's in Psychology.

Marco’s personal experiences, including the loss of his sister and mother, and supporting his wife through her battle with stage 3 breast cancer, have fueled his passion for giving back. His three children, Gavin, Leilani, and Liam, are his source of strength and inspiration.

Leading Our Expansion and Operation Teddy Bear

Marco will be spearheading our expansion efforts in the San Antonio and Austin areas and will also be heading up Operation Teddy Bear. This newly redefined program will continue to provide comfort and support to children and families facing serious illnesses, with enhanced focus and resources. Under Marco's leadership, we are confident that Operation Teddy Bear will reach new heights and touch more lives than ever before.

Thank you The Nest Schools Cinco Ranch for your generous donation! This will help so many sick kids.
