Building Bridges to Bright Futures: Spurs Entertainment and J. L. August Bridge Builders Foundation Host Inspiring Career Day
The J. L. August Bridge Builders Foundation was welcomed to the Frost Bank Center for a Career Day presentation by Spurs Entertainment. A total of thirty (37) students from Sam Houston High School, Davis Middle School, and Young Men’s Leadership Academy were in attendance. The Spurs Entertainment staff, led by Mr. Alex Cardenas, hosted mentees so they can gain exposure to future career and professional opportunities. The day started with a tour around the Frost Bank Center and ended with a panel of three discussions from the Spurs Entertainment staff.
During the panel discussion, the mentees asked questions such as, “What was the greatest disappointment that influenced your career, motivating each one of you?” and “How they started their careers with the Spurs”. The staff was very transparent and gave the mentees a lot of information that they could place into their toolbox for success as the real world is just around the corner. Each mentee received Spurs paraphernalia.
The J. L. August Bridge Builder’s Foundation gives high school students, previously in the mentoring program, scholarships and mentorships. The scholarship program is available to high-achieving high school seniors and students previously in the Bridge Builder mentoring program with financial needs who seek to attend and graduate from the four-year colleges and universities. Each award is intended to cover a portion of the student’s educational expenses – such as tuition, living expenses, books, or required fees. Awards vary by individual, based on the donations. Sponsorship is the key element. If you would like to be a sponsor visit our website HERE.
