Continuing The Legacy....

Our Mission
Our mission is to continue the legacy of our late founder, Sandy Peltyn, by bringing together community minded persons who are motivated to participate in charitable events that will benefit continuing education opportunities for high school students. By providing educational scholarships to deserving high school graduates in the State of Nevada who have a proven record of academic achievement, we benefit those students who otherwise lack the financial resources to pursue a college degree. Further to encourage public service, family and community involvement.
Sandy Colòn Peltyn was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico where she attended the Inter-American University, majoring in Humanities with a minor in Music. Shortly after college, Sandy was signed by Perez Productions as a singer and headlined her music around the globe, including Las Vegas. She also hosted and produced two award winning television shows. Settling in Las Vegas in 1983 she worked with her late husband, Roger Peltyn, in his firm Martin & Peltyn Structural Engineers as VP in charge of Marketing and Public Relations. The firm was responsible for the design of many Las Vegas projects including Wynn Las Vegas, Caesars Palace, Venetian and Paris Hotels. She worked there for over 20 years and was partially responsible for their profitable success. Her experience and success in marketing and public relations led her to another successful professional career with DeSimone Consulting Engineers as VP of Business Development/Marketing, Political Affairs and Community Affairs and then as a member of the Board of Directors for Independent Nevada Doctors, a Doctor’s Medical Malpractice Insurance Company. Subsequently Sandy was appointed to the St. Rose-Dignity Health Executive Board and Foundation Board and most recently served on the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners.

What it Means to be a Señoras of Excellence
A Señora is loyal to family and friends who expects no more from others than she’s willing to give; she is a woman who is confident in her beliefs, and yet is willing to listen to what others have to say.
A Señora is trustworthy, a confidante. A Señora lends a helping hand when you need her. She is your best friend, she is Love, she is Tenderness, and she is Courage.
A Señora gives the gifts of her thoughtfulness, shows her caring with good words of support and her understanding with a smile.
A Señora guides and inspires not by quoting other philosophers but by living her own good example; who accepts victories and disappointment with grace, who rises above life’s challenges, and moves on.
What it Means to be a Señores of Distinction
A Señor is a man we admire, a man who raises our spirits, and never lets us down.
A Señor climbs the ladder of success while consciously reaching out to bring others up with him. He knows that success is much sweeter and more meaningful when it is shared with others.
A Señor bases his life on principals, his willingness to sacrifice without expectations or Thanks. He sees success as achieving the goals he has set. He is a Son, a Brother, a Husband, a Father; strong, yet gentle.
