The PENTA Building Group has signed on as the presenting sponsor of Roseman University’s newly rebranded Hero Scholar Classic, launching a four-year commitment to helping expand scholarship opportunities for future health care professionals. This year’s tournament, held on Nov. 3 at Red Rock Country Club, brought remarkable community support, with 135 participants, 18 volunteers and 96 sponsors, raising $216,680.
“For PENTA, giving back isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are,” said John Cannito, president & CEO of The PENTA Building Group. “Supporting Roseman University and the Hero Scholar Classic means investing in the next generation of health care providers who will care for our families, our neighbors and our community. We’re proud to stand with Roseman and help make these educational opportunities possible.”
Proceeds from the Hero Scholar Classic benefit Roseman University’s Hero Scholars program, which has awarded $480,000 in scholarships since 2021 to students in pharmacy, nursing, dental medicine, medicine and graduate studies who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership and service.
This year’s tournament success marks the start of a strengthened partnership between Roseman University and PENTA, one that will continue driving impact for students and for Nevada’s growing health care workforce for years to come, said Geena Jeffries Mattox, Roseman University’s vice president for philanthropy and alumni relations.
