For Immediate Release Nov. 3, 2008

NewQuest Properties, developer of Brazos Town Center in Rosenberg, will once again serve as title sponsor for the Lamar Educational Awards Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser, Men Who Cook 2009, set for February 21 at Safari Texas Ranch.

“We are thrilled to have NewQuest Properties as the presenting sponsor for 2009,” said Vincent Morales, L.E.A.F. board president. “Their continued support of the students in our school district and of the area’s overall economy is indicative of their commitment to our community.”

Proceeds from the evening will be used by L.E.A.F. to support ideas and classroom projects proposed by Lamar CISD teachers that would otherwise go unfunded.  L.E.A.F. also offers scholarships to graduating Lamar CISD seniors and to paraprofessionals working on their teaching certificates.

For information on how you can become a sponsor, volunteer or even become a cook for the event, please contact Janice Knight at (832)-223-0334.
