We would like to share the most recent happenings with the #Aristrong Foundation. On February 14th, Valentine’s Day, the #Aristrong Foundation was awarded one of the “Biggest Heart In the Inland Empire” award by the Unforgettables foundation and their founder, Tim Evans. Along with Senator Mike Morrel and other dignitaries.
The #Aristrong Foundation represented the City of Colton and was recognized for the charitable works we have been carrying out and acts of kindness in the wake of losing our daughter, Arianna “Ari” Villalobos to a brain tumor on October 1st, 2019. The #Aristrong Foundation was recognized in both San Bernardino County and Riverside County respectively. The MC for the event, Stan Morrison, read the biography for the #Aristrong Foundation and commented on the beautiful heart behind the foundation, which was Ari’s selfless spirit.
There were many other charities and organizations recognized from various cities across the San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The #Aristrong Foundation was humbled yet honored to receive such recognition in the short time frame since Ari has passed. The #Aristrong Foundation is determined to uphold the mandate and mission given by Ari to “Bring hope and healing to hurting hearts,” and continue to be a beacon of light to not only the amazing residents of Colton, but the Inland Empire as well.
