Pechangas Newest Recipients of Team Member Family Scholarships

Michael Randazzo, a former Valet Team Member from 2006 to 2007, has become Pechanga’s latest recipient of the $1,000 scholarship award. Michael is the son of Ron Randazzo, Director of Risk Management. Each year, the scholarship is awarded to ten students who are sons or daughters of current Team Members. To be eligible, students may be entering college, or already enrolled. Michael is currently in his fourth year at the University of California, San Diego, majoring in bio-chemistry. He intends to use the scholarship money to help pay for tuition as a graduate student, “After UCSD, I will attend medical school, where I can study to become a surgeon.”

In September, Courtney Potter, daughter of Slots Floorperson, Doretta Potter, also received a $1,000 scholarship from Pechanga. Courtney is currently a freshman at California State University, Fullerton, majoring in broadcast journalism. Doretta began her career at Pechanga in the cage department, and spent the last two years in slots. She is proud of her daughter’s accomplishments and ambitions. An aspiring actress and student, Courtney is grateful for the tuition assistance she received from Pechanga’s family scholarship program.
