Scholarship Students & Sponsors Meet & Greet
Posted by Joanne on January 13, 2019, 7:15 pm
This past week, La Catalina Foundation hosted a Meet & Greet evening in order for sponsors and their 'Wings Scholarship' students to get to know each other better. It was a fun event and a great opportunity to meet up with these dynamic young people, many of whom have dreams of going to university or tech school after high school. There are currently 40 students with sponsors - and another 16 hoping to have someone come forward to sponsor them soon. Scholarship students are required to maintain an 8.5 grade average and perform 40 hrs of community volunteer work each school year to qualify for the program. We met sponsors who have gathered a group together to sponsor one student - and sponsors who have multiple students they support. It really is making a difference in the community. We were so pleased to spend time with our delightful scholarship student, Alison and her family. If you are interested in sponsoring a student - or would like to find out more information, you can contact La Catalina Foundation at la_catalinafoundation@hotmail.com or office@lacatalinafoundation.org

Yes, the evening was wonderful! Thank you to all involved. Ken & Margarita, at then Meet and Greet evening, we were informed that there are quite a few students waiting for sponsors. You can contact La Catalina Educational Foundation (LCEF) directly to find out how to get involved. LCEF is truly an amazing non profit organization.
