Leadership Stockton Class of 2025 Supports Future Classes With Donation
Stockton, CA (July 25, 2025) – Leadership Stockton Alumni Association (LSAA) today announced it has received a $8,630.88 donation from Leadership Stockton class of 2025 to support the Christopher John Serpa Scholarship Fund. This generous gift will enable LSAA to ensure the ongoing commitment of providing impactful scholarships to the Leadership Stockton program for years to come.
“The Leadership Stockton Class of 2025 is honored to contribute $8,630.88 to the Leadership Stockton Alumni Association’s Christopher Serpa Scholarship Fund. This donation is about paying forward the support, and compassion we experienced during our cohort. Earlier this year, when one of our classmates faced challenges in covering his tuition, the class stepped up. Those who had the means made it possible for him to continue his journey alongside us. That moment captured the heart of what Leadership Stockton is about: the spirit of community, compassion, and that we finish this through to the end. This gift honors the classmates who made it possible for our cohort to finish together. It also reflects the leaders who put in countless hours of work, skill, and tenacity to raise these funds through our class fundraisers, and those that stayed committed to the program all the way to graduation. We hope this gift helps open the door to future leaders to experience this life-changing program, and invest in Stockton’s future, regardless of their financial circumstances.” Leadership Stockton ‘25
“We are incredibly grateful to the Class of 2025 for their generosity,” said LSAA Board President Jaclyn Frenzel. “This donation will allow the board to continue to help ensure the continued assistance with tuition through the Christopher John Serpa Scholarship Fund.”
LSAA is committed to support the Leadership Stockton Program and cultivate meaningful relationships among our alumni.
