The Hayward Chamber welcomes its new member Peter Sategna Educational Foundation.

Peter Sategna was a combat military veteran of World War II and used the GI bill to purchase a home in Albany, California where he lived and worked. Near the end of his life, Peter asked family members to help him start a foundation that would give others the same kind of opportunity to either start or finish their education or learn a trade. Peter passed away in 2007 and in 2008 the Peter Sategna Educational Foundation was created.

Over many years, the Foundation has been busy living up to the request of Peter and providing scholarships to our local youth and combat military veterans to help in their quest to change their lives. http://www.sategnafoundation.org/default.asp
