Listen "Robert & Janet Vackar: Philanthropy, UTRGV, and Vaquero Football"
Episode Synopsis
This week we welcome Robert and Janet Vackar of Bert Ogden Auto Group for a candid conversation about philanthropy, community building, and their deep commitment to UTRGV. We discuss why giving matters to them, how they evaluate impact, and what it takes to sustain long term support for students, athletics, and the Rio Grande Valley. The Vackars also share honest thoughts on UTRGV Football’s inaugural season, whether expectations were met, and what success should look like in year two. We close with stories behind the brand, leadership lessons, and what is next for the Valley.
