Roc & Amira Lopez–Sansotta Scholarship

We’re proud to highlight the Roc & Amira Lopez–Sansotta Scholarship, established earlier this year to honor Roc’s legacy of mentorship and belief in the power of opportunity.

A recent family gift—along with a company match—will support the first two years of student scholarships as the endowment continues to grow.

This is what Giving Day is all about: immediate impact for students and long-term investment in their future.
