Correspondence The City Secretary read into the record the following correspondence submitted by David Adefeso Founder & CEO Sootchy Inc, Sootchy Charitable Foundation. Dear Mayor: I'm thrilled to share with you that the City of Port Arthur has been chosen as the inaugural winner of the Sootchy Pilot City Selection Program. This prestigious selection signifies that Port Arthur will spearhead Sootchy's ambitious initiative to eradicate long-standing, generational poverty across the nation. This will be achieved by providing every child from underserved and underrepresented communities with the necessary resources, opportunities, and financial support to pursue a higher education. This achievement is indeed remarkable. As you know, the journey to select our pilot city began nine months ago and involved eight carefully chosen cities. Each city underwent a rigorous three-step evaluation process over those nine months to assess their suitability and dedication to our mission. Your city stood out to us, not just for its significant economic advancements, particularly its overall contribution to the U.S. Liquid Natural Gas production, refining and export markets, but also for the palpable sense of love, resilience, and hope we felt among your residents. Furthermore, we recognized the considerable untapped economic potential within Port Arthur and feel your city is poised for significant development. Achieving the Pilot City Program's ambitious goal of securing $43.2 million annually to fund the higher education cost for 3,000 children within Port Arthur is no small feat. Yet, we are optimistic that Port Arthur will mobilize its community to support its youth, setting a precedent for other cities across America. This initiative will demonstrate the transformative impact of education and communal effort in addressing the profound challenge of persistent, multigenerational poverty. We eagerly anticipate collaborating with you on this transformative journey as we together strive to create a model that could, in time, be adopted not only across the United States but also around the globe.
