2021 SCHOLARSHIP CLASSIC
April 15, 2021
Dear Las Campanas Member,
The annual Scholarship Classic is scheduled for June 7, 2021, featuring activities with members, employees, scholarship recipients, and guests, including a 9-hole golf outing plus tennis and pickleball lessons and round robins, and Equestrian events. The Employee Recognition luncheon that traditionally follows these events will be held if permitted by Covid protocols in effect at the time.
The Classic is the major fund-raising event for the Las Campanas Scholarship Funds, providing a source of funds for scholarships to employees and children of employees and our newly established Teen Savings Account (TSA). The TSA is a college savings account for teen employees currently attending high school to create a pathway to financial stability and incentivize savings for college.
Your donations continue to make a difference! 28 students are currently pursuing higher education via scholarships from this Fund and 5 high school students are saving via the TSA. In the Fall of 2020 and Spring 2021, scholarships awarded totaled over $110,000, with $60,000 expected in the Fall of 2021. Since inception of the Fund in 2014, over $576,000 in scholarships have been awarded to qualified employees and family members, most of whom are the first in their family to attend college.
As a new feature of the 2021 Classic to encourage broader participation by Club members, a group of LC Members established a $25,000 matching fund, to match donations from $500-$2500 by first time donors to the LCCF Scholarship Fund.
The Scholarship Fund is one of two comprising the Las Campanas Community Funds, the other being Community Grants. One fund is inwardly focused (Club employees and their children) and the other focuses outward (non-profits in Santa Fe). LCCF operates under the umbrella of the Santa Fe Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 public charity, and all donations are fully deductible for IRS purposes.
We thank you for your past contributions and we hope the Scholarship Fund can benefit from your continued generosity. With your support, our employees and our Club can continue to enjoy the mutual benefits of this vibrant scholarship program. Details on sponsorship opportunities are attached.
Thank you,
Mac McDonald CT Herman
Scholarship Committee and Classic Chairman Chairman, LCCF
