La Amistad Receives $2,500 People’s Choice Award from CareSource

CareSource, Georgia’s first and only nonprofit managed care organization, presented La Amistad with a check for $2,500 as a part of the People’s Choice Grant Awards.

Since 2010 the CareSource People’s Choice Grant Awards have been an employee driven investment into the nonprofits that are closest to their hearts. CareSource team members are given the opportunity, each quarter, to nominate, vote on, and ultimately award grants to their favorite nonprofits. Since the initial call, $445,000 have been invested into nonprofits of our employee’s choosing.

“La Amistad is a vital program for the Latino community in Atlanta,” said Bobby Jones, president of the Georgia market for CareSource. “We are honored to present the $2,500 People’s Choice Grant Award to help fund the important educational services that the organization provides to the local community.”

LaAmistad is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and a holistic program that includes afterschool tutoring, parent education, English for Successful Living classes, and summer enrichment activities.

“We are grateful to CareSource for this generous grant,” said Amy Hogan, Development Director, La Amistad. “The funds will help us in our continued mission of enhancing the education and development of our community’s children.”

La Amistad was presented with the $2,500 check today at the organization’s Atlanta offices. Pictured in the event photo (L-R) are: Catrina DaCosta McAfee, La Amistad; Elida Lopez, CareSource; Amy Hogan, La Amistad; and Kimberly Fluellen, CareSource.
