Robert Perez, Founder and Co-Chairman of The CBP Foundation has announced the launch of the foundation’s new website. Perez expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I’m thrilled to announce that The CBP Foundation website is live! It’s truly a privilege to give back to the incredible men and women of CBP.”
The CBP Foundation is dedicated to supporting the employees of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and their families. The foundation was established in 2023, following the closure of the Roger L. Von Amelunxen Foundation (RLVAF), which had been providing support to U.S. Customs and CBP employees for over 40 years. The CBP Foundation aims to continue the legacy and work of the RLVAF by offering financial assistance to CBP employees who experience tragedy.
As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, The CBP Foundation is committed to aiding CBP employees and their families nationwide. The foundation’s mission is to ensure that those who dedicate their lives to protecting the nation’s borders receive the support they need during challenging times.
The foundation’s leadership includes individuals with extensive experience and dedication to CBP:
- Robert Perez – Founder & Co-Chairman, former Deputy Commissioner of CBP
- Allen Gina – Founder & Co-Chairman, former Assistant Commissioner Office of Trade, CBP
- Erika Mendoza – Director of Development
The launch of The CBP Foundation website marks a significant step forward in the foundation’s efforts to provide essential support to CBP employees. The website will serve as a hub for information on the foundation’s activities, ways to donate, and how CBP employees can access assistance.
Robert Perez’s announcement highlights the foundation’s ongoing commitment to honoring the legacy of the RLVAF and ensuring that the men and women of CBP have the resources and support they need. For more information and to support The CBP Foundation’s mission, visit The CBP Foundation website.
