As we are both longtime residents of Santa Ana, we see firsthand how these programs <br />impact these kids_ More programs like this are needed in order to keep kids out of unhealthy environments. <br />This is riot just a program, Ws a lifeline for students who might otherwise never have this opportunity. Please <br />know the Segerstrom Family's contributions have had a profound and lasting impact on our school and <br />community. <br />Sincerely, <br />Erica Pedraza <br />Jose Pedraza <br />Erica Pedraza <br />ParalegallBankruptcy department Supervisor <br />pp� <br />OINS N <br />M A L L DCE R O 5 <br />A l/ W C OR P OR 4 T 6 N <br />2112 Business Center Drive <br />Irvine, CA 92612 <br />www. malcol mcisneros_com <br />Follow our firm at: IM <br />Certified Minority Clmned C'G pomtior <br />City of Santa Ana <br />16-1 <br />August 2025 <br />c <br />
