Every year Carnival Foundation throws a memorable holiday party for the Carnival Scholarship and Mentoring Program students and their mentors. With great food and music by celebrity spin master DJ Irie, everyone agreed that it was the best party of the season.
Carnival Corporation President and CEO Arnold Donald spoke to the Carnival Scholarship and Mentoring Program students about his career and achieving success. Prior to his arrival, the students and mentors answered questions about themselves during a fun game and “first impression” awards were given out to students who stood out as they arrived at Carnival.
Miami HEAT player Shane Battier welcomed the Carnival Scholarship and Mentoring Program students back for the 2013-14 school year. Returning students met up with their Carnival “big” while the freshman “littles” met the Carnival mentors for the first time.
Every year Carnival Foundation awards 15 students in the Carnival Scholarship and Mentoring Program with a college scholarship purchased from the Florida Prepaid College Foundation. For the 2013 recipients, Carnival Corporation Chairman Micky Arison and Miami HEAT retired star Alonzo Mourning were on hand to congratulate the students.
