The “Spanish American Cub, Inc.” (SACI) donated $1,500 to the “Indian River Community College” (IRCC) for three scholarships to college students this year. This amount, a result of the 15th Anniversary, brings the total donations to $10,000 over the past 15 years.

Amy Perez, a Guatemalan from Indiantown and a student at South Fork High School, was one of the winners this year. Amy is going to study “Physical Therapy” and after she finishes, she will return to the Treasure Coast to work. In addition to the annual dinner/dance, the SACI celebrates other fundraising events. Some of these include raffles, cruise trips, bowling tournaments, golf, and dominoes. Since its foundation in 1992, the club has awarded scholarships to 18 Hispanic students from Martin and St. Lucie counties. The SACI is a nonprofit organization that is social, civic, cultural, charitable, and sporting. Its main goal is to unite Hispanics on the Treasure Coast.

The list of contributors this year included; Showtime Entertainment, Center for Eye Care & Surgery, Coggin Honda of Ft. Pierce, Rodríguez Oronoz & Co., Vitreo-Retinal Consultants, Realty Unlimited GMAC, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dansar Construction Co., Groucho’s Production, Jose’s Barber Styling, Latin Chamber of Commerce of the Treasure Coast, and La Voz News of the Treasure Coast, among others.
