How the Hispanic Education Scholarships started
Los Defensores is proud to partner with spokesperson and legendary Los Angeles Dodgers Hall of Fame broadcaster, Jaime Jarrin, a revered figure in the Hispanic community since his arrival in Los Angeles from Ecuador. As an immigrant, Jaime came to the US filled with hopes and dreams, a vision inspired and strengthened by his wife, Blanca.
Jaime has been a member of the Dodgers since 1959, and his career spanning 60 years as the 'Voz' of the Dodgers was always supported by Blanca.
In 2019, the Jarrin family launched the Jaime and Blanca Jarrin Foundation to serve and support charitable, educational, and athletic programs in the local community. Their mission is to help students unlock their full potential and realize their goals.
Our Mission
