Phoenix Suns Charities Surprise Central High School Student with Full-Tuition College Scholarship with Assist from Suns Employees

The impacts of COVID-19 have been felt far and wide, especially from high school seniors who unfortunately were unable to finish their final year in the traditional sense. Classes shifted online and Zoom calls quickly became the norm.

So, when Central High School senior Star Delarosa joined a recent Zoom call for a follow-up round of a scholarship interview, she was shocked to be greeted by her mentor from New Pathways for Youth, her Central High School Principal, representatives from the Helios Education Foundation and more than 50 Phoenix Suns employees, including Suns CEO and President, Jason Rowley.
