Los Padrinos JOIN THE MOVEMENT. BUILD A LEGACY
Vida Valiente means “valiant life.” To us, that means living with purpose, investing in people, and leaving something meaningful for the generations that follow.
Two families carry that same conviction, Hayes and Susana Drumwright, and Sam and Nancy Kaplan, who found in each other the partners to build Vida Valiente, to live valiantly, as a legacy meant to be shared. Their own paths had climbed peaks and fallen into valleys, weathered loss and failure, and demanded grit and perseverance, but what stayed with them most was the community that carried them through all of it.
That is what taught them a valiant life was never meant to be lived alone, and it is why Los Padrinos exists today, a circle built for those willing to live valiantly alongside them.
Los Padrinos means “The Godparents."
It is our Circle of Collectors who believe, as we do, that a life well lived is measured not simply by what we gather, but by whom we encourage, what we share, and what we leave behind.
