Daughters Earn 2 of 10 Scholarship Awards Created for Team Member Families

The daughters of two Team Members are the first to win $1,000 towards their college tuition. PRC now offers 10 such scholarships each year to dependents of Full Time Team Members. Human Resources accepts application all throughout the year.

Cherifer, the daughter of Maribeth Acedo, Housekeeping Supervisor, will attend University of California, Los Angeles. Diana Siordia, daughter of Tony Siordia, Slot Shift Manager, will attend California Baptist University.
