NETS vs KNICKS - Barclays Center February 6, 2015

The Brooklyn Nets win tonight 92-88! With 48 at attendance representing S.M.B.S. Inc., we were true winners too. We raised $720 in ticket sales and $60 donations for our organization.

We even had our couple of seconds of fame on the score board.

Thank you to board members James Carroll and Fanny Mera for organizing the event. To everyone who donated and attended the event, thank you for your ongoing support.

GREAT GAME WITH GREAT COMPANY!!! :)

WELCOME TO THE S.M.B.S. INC.

This scholarship was created in loving memory of Stephanie Marie Burgos, who was once a student who struggled with numerous life and academic difficulties but managed to maintain her love for the fine arts and communication arts. Although her dreams were never fulfilled as we lost her to a tragic car accident in 2005, her dreams live on through this scholarship and those selected to receive it.

The scholarship was developed the year Stephanie was scheduled to graduate from high school in 2008. The talented young people that have been selected to receive this scholarship continue to live Stephanie's dream.

The scholarship is granted for four years to one new candidate annually; who is a senior in good standing, graduating from a New York City Department of Education High School and entering an accredited four year college, with the condition of maintaining contact with the organization & family on their academic progress yearly.
