Explorer Post 280 Dreamers, a scout program for boys and girls ages 14 and older, will use the funds for its young entrepreneurs program. Mr. Estrada and Mr. Martinez represented the Law Enforcement Explorer Post 334, a division of the Boy Scouts that provides security services and crime prevention in the community. The Neighborhood Fund is made possible by the voluntary efforts of and contributions from employees, faculty, and staff throughout CPMC, as well as special fund-raising events.
