THE JAGUARS FOUNDATION PARTNERS WITH
the First Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to Award
College Scholarships to Local Hispanic Youth Leaders
This past September, the First Coast Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce hosted the Hispanic
Heritage Gala & Achieving The Dream Scholarship
Awards to recognize 10 outstanding scholarship
recipients who are blazing the trail for future
generations as they realize their dreams of a
college education. The Jaguars Foundation
participated as a silver sponsor and contributed
$5000 towards FCHCC’s scholarship program.
At the dinner, the Jaguars publicly recognized
Maira Martelo as the recipient of the 2017
NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award for
her continued commitment to the Hispanic
community. Maira serves on the Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Committee
and contributed to the selection of the 2017
scholarship award winners.
The Jaguars Foundation continues to support
and invest in the Hispanic community in North
Florida. Later this year, the Jaguars Foundation
will be partnering with the FCHCC to award the
Boys & Girls Club of NE Florida a $5,000 grant
to help bring more Hispanic youth to their club
and offset registration costs for their NFL FLAG
league.
