This year was no exception!  Franc Martinez, President of CACS Foundation presented the $1,000 award to Sofia Yee.  <\/p>\n<p>Sofia Yee is a senior at West Campus High School.  In the fall, Sofia will be attending Pomona College as a prospective English and Math Major.  Inspired by the Rotary and Interact Club motto of &#8220;Service Above Self,&#8221; she hopes to become an attorney, with the goal of helping others.  Outside of school, Sofia served as the president of the Pocket Library Teen Advisory Board and volunteered with Asian Resources, Inc.  You can probably find Sofia in the kitchen with a whisk in hand, testing out the latest batch of chocolate chip cookies.  <\/p>\n<p>In addition to 7 scholarship recipients, California Department of Tax and Fee Administration received the APSEA President&#8217;s Award, Aman Thiara from the Department of Human Resources received the APSEA Member of the Year Award and Stephanie Tom, Deputy Treasurer of the California State Treasurer&#8217;s Office received the APSEA Foundation Community Leadership Award.  <\/p>\n<p>Franc represented CACS Foundation well and we are proud to be part of the celebration.  The event was held on Thursday, May 14, 2026 at Cafeteria 15L in midtown Sacramento.
