Barrios Contributes to Santa Fe Strong

Barrios Technology’s mission statement has always included providing extraordinary value to the communities where its employees live and work so it wasn’t a hard decision for CEO Sandy Johnson to support the victims and their families of the recent Santa Fe High School shooting. Barrios made a generous donation of $1000 to the Santa Fe Strong Fund. Like many local companies, Barrios wasn’t alone in having some its own employees impacted by the tragedy. Johnson made the contribution in support of those employees and the many other families impacted.

“All children, teachers, and administrators should feel safe at school,” said Johnson. “Anything we can contribute as business leaders in our community to help those impacted by this tragedy makes a difference. Thanks to the Santa Fe Education Foundation for all they are doing to help our community heal.”

The Santa Fe Strong Fund is a project operated under the 501(c)(3) of the Santa Fe Education Foundation to support families of those killed, injured or held hostage in the horrific mass shooting at Santa Fe High School. The Fund is governed by a local Steering Committee appointed by the Executive Committee of the Education Foundation. The National Compassion Fund (NCF) will administer the distribution of funds under an agreement with the Education Foundation.

To make a contribution, you can donate online at https://texasfirst.bank/about-us/blog/santa-fe-strong-fund, in-person at any Texas First Bank banking center or by mail. Checks should be payable to Santa Fe Texas Education Foundation and mailed to Texas First Bank, Santa Fe Strong Fund, P.O. Box 608, Santa Fe, TX 77510.

The Santa Fe Texas Education Foundation was established in 2010 as a non-profit organization that supports Santa Fe ISD students. Our mission is to unite the Santa Fe community in support of quality public education. Funds for the Santa Fe Texas Education Foundation are maintained separately from the Santa Fe Strong Fund and independently from the school district.

The National Compassion Fund is a subsidiary of the National Center for Victims of Crime, the nation’s leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. The National Center for Victims of Crime is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and an authority on how victims are compensated for loss. The National Compassion Fund has lead distributions to victims of mass events in Fort Hood, Chattanooga, Orlando, Las Vegas, Charlottesville and Parkland, Florida.
