In part two of our year in review, we continue to reflect on 2017 and the accomplishments our team at Cenac Marine has achieved. The Cenac team is dedicated to the success of our company and their hard work is always marked. Cenac M
arine Services and CEO Benny Cenac, have always been dedicated in their endeavor to providing the absolute best for children and young adults when it comes to education. For that reason, Cenac is especially proud of the part we could play in assisting our local educational community in 2017.
First, Mr. Arlen B. Cenac made several donations to the Stella Learning center including two laptops for classrooms in order for them to use the Promethean Board. The Promethean Board is a specific brand of interactive whiteboard that allows you to project an image from a laptop or a computer, as well as interact with the board through touch or specialized pens. This allows the students to access interactive learning. There was two, $2,500.00 scholarships for children with disabilities to help defray cost of tuition, as well as a donated Terrebonne Parish Act 3 Curriculum which puts their curriculum up to date for that age group. And finally, Cenac contributed funds for new playground equipment and mulch.
Another memorable partnership Benny Cenac made in 2017 was with Edward Douglass White Catholic High School when he fast tracked a notable donation to the school so that they could begin construction on a new and improved facility. “Mr. Benny’s donation will provide a solid foundation in order for the program to meet its goal to open this updated and newly renovated facility,” stated President, Tim Robichaux.
Mr. Cenac also teamed up with Vandebilt Catholic High for Sacred Heart Scholarship Fund. The 2017-2018 school year was the first of many years for the Arlen “Benny” Cenac, Jr. Sacred Heart Scholarship Fund. The scholarship was and will continue to be dedicated towards tuition assistance of children from families in financial need. The awards will range from $1,000 to the total cost of tuition per year and may extend multiple years while a student is enrolled at Vandebilt Catholic High. The criteria for being eligible for this grant will be based on need, desire, recommendation and selection.
Mr. Cenac stated, “The influence of a great education is something that cannot be replaced. I want to make sure I am doing my part in helping these young adults achieve greatness along with building strong core values of integrity and excellence.”
As always, all of our success at Cenac Marine is credited to our wonderfully dedicated team. We are eternally grateful for each and every one of them and are looking forward to what 2018 will bring for our Cenac Team.
