The Lamar Bruni Vegara Trust was established in 1989. The legacy of its namesake continues through the enhancement of the Catholic Church, educational and health institutions, and numerous local social services organizations.
As her health deteriorated in later years, she sought to ensure that her care for her community would continue. She was a Laredo philanthropist whose vision and legacy of assisting higher education continues through the benevolent acts of the Lamar Bruni Vergara Trust. Her cousin, J.C.Martin, Jr. and friend Solomon Casseb, Jr. formed a trust to provide continuous support of the social, religious, health and educational initiatives of the community. The Trust has provided gifts and support for the DR.F.M.Canseco School of Nursing and its programs, student scholarships, faculty research, the Lamar Bruni Vergara Memorial Garden and most recently, the Lamar Bruni Vergara Science Center.
