PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico October 8, 2024 | IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas, known for its long-standing dedication to the Cabo San Lucas community, is proud to announce the launch of a transformative project working in partnership with local stakeholders – the construction of León Cota Collins’ new multi-purpose court and roofing. This ambitious endeavor builds on IGY’s decade-plus commitment to support the community and is set to positively impact local early childhood educational resources and the region’s educational landscape.

“We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact IGY has on the Cabo community. The IGY team is an integral and valued part of our town,” said Itza Citlali Sanchez Mata, León Cota Collins Primary’s morning principal. “This project will greatly benefit our students.”

León Cota Collins Primary serves over 700 students. The new IGY-sponsored facility will offer a state-of-the-art learning environment that fosters academic growth and personal development. On completion, the building will be equipped with modern recreational areas designed to enhance educational experience, sports and fitness.

“IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas is deeply committed to supporting the local Cabo San Lucas community,” said Enrique Rivera, General Manager of IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas. “Education is the foundation of a thriving society, and through this project and many others, IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas is proud to help empower future generations of our community to achieve their fullest potential.”

The support to the León Cata Collins Primary School aligns with IGY’s broader corporate social responsibility ethos, which focuses on improving local community infrastructure, fostering youth development, and promoting sustainable growth in Cabo San Lucas. This collective charitable project not only meaningfully supports the educational needs of the community but also brings together local businesses to invest in the well-being and future of the region.

For over ten years, IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has been a trusted partner in the local community, actively supporting social and environmental initiatives. These include building housing for displaced employees after Hurricane Odile, hosting children’s days at the marina, renovating a playground for children with physical disabilities, constructing a fire brigade substation, and offering employee training programs that support both high school and college education. This latest contribution builds on IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas’ recent achievement of the prestigious 5-Gold Anchor Status, highlighting its world-class standards in Mexico and deep commitment to the community.  By adding support for León Cota Collins Primary School, IGY further solidifies its dedication to creating a lasting and positive impact on the lives and well-being of the local community and its residents.
