We extend our
appreciation to our
generous donors
and Grant Napear
for their support
in ensuring the
continued success
of our program.”
— MICHAEL ANDERSON
BOARD PRESIDENT
SINDIA MAYA
FUTURE SACRAMENTO RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATE
a dedicated board of directors and generous donors. These
supporting individuals are rewarded by seeing students not
only getting into college, but earning degrees. Each July,
the Grant Napear Fairway to the Future fundraising golf
tournament is a chance for Future Sacramento graduates to
celebrate their achievements and express thanks to those who
helped them succeed.
“If it weren’t for Future Sacramento, I wouldn’t be here as a
Cal Poly SLO graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil
engineering, plus a minor in construction management,” said
Sindia Maya, a 2019 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo graduate, at this
year’s tournament. “I can still remember being accepted into
Future Sacramento in 2012. That was the moment the question
changed from, ‘Am I going to be able to go to college?’ to ‘What
do I have to (do) on my part to make it possible?’ I’m a story
of what a human being can accomplish when simply given an
opportunity and a little bit of faith and support by individuals.”
Other Future Sacramento college graduates include the very
first Future graduate Monica Sandoval, who’s earned a master’s
degree; Diem Le, the first Future graduate to go to pharmacy
school; Eden Racket, a University of Chicago graduate who earned
special honors in English with his degree and is now a legal
writing specialist; Luciano Zuniga, a recent UC Berkeley graduate
with a bachelor of arts in public health who started a job with The
Greenlining Institute; and Sophia Fields, a graduate this year of
the NYU Tisch School of the Arts who interned in and now works
in the film industry.
Future Sacramento welcomes volunteers, and donors are
greatly needed to fund scholarships. “We make the most efficient
use of donated funds, ensuring all available resources are in place
to help scholarship recipients through graduation,” Marlow says.
“Please join us in building a foundation for more students to
attend and succeed in college.”
