THE DRIVE TO $25K

the 4th Annual gallegos cup
September 12th, 2026

This scholarship honors the life and enduring legacy of Jesus Jose “Pepe” Gallegos Jr., a beloved resident of Vado, New Mexico, who passed away on May 15, 2022, at the age of 66.
Pepe devoted more than four decades of his life to Dos Lagos Golf Club in Anthony, New Mexico, where he served as Co-Club Professional. His passion for the game extended far beyond the golf course. Throughout his career, he provided instruction to Gadsden and UTEP students, adult golfers through individual lessons, and young players through summer junior programs. Through his knowledge, patience, and kindness, Pepe inspired and influenced generations of golfers.
This scholarship is made possible through the continued generosity and dedication of Pepe’s friends and family, many of whom share his deep appreciation for the game of golf and the sense of community it creates. Through their annual charitable golf tournament, these friends and supporters have worked tirelessly to preserve Pepe’s memory and extend his legacy by supporting the next generation.
Their commitment, generosity, and years of service embody the spirit of friendship, community, and love of golf that Pepe held so dearly. This scholarship serves as a lasting tribute to a remarkable man whose impact will continue to be felt both on and off the golf course.

The Drive to $25k
Right now, the endowment is funded to approximately $15.3k.  The goal is to fully fund the endowment to $25k, which would fund 2 scholarships of $500 ea for perpetuity.

So please help us this year to meet the goal.  We have included hole sponsorship opportunities as well as cash donations.

The scholarship is intended to help students from Dona Ana County, with preference given to Gadsden Independent School District graduates, who need financial assistance to attend Dona Ana Community College.
