The Stephanie Marie Burgos Scholarship: COPA AMERICA FUNDRAISERS

COPA AMERICA FUNDRAISERS

There was a demand for more soccer and what better way to deliver then with the Centennial Copa America. On Sunday, June12th we organized a small event raising $160. Due to popular demand a second game was added to our calendar, the Copa's finals on Sunday, June 26 which helped us raise an additional $80. A total of $240 was raised for both games for our organization!

Thank you again to our board member and sports event director, Kenny Lozano, who organized this year's three successful soccer events this year so far. We are grateful to everyone who joined in the fun. There might be more upcoming local soccer games so keep posted. Follow us on FaceBook for updates!

Here are some great shots from our two Copa events!

Donations are always welcome. You can mail your tax deductible gift to:

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.
