Christie Prieto Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Christie Prieto Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in memory of a former – long-time – chorister in the MCC. Christie was a leading member in the MCC from 1990 until her high school graduation in 2000. She distinguished herself in the organization with her strong commitment to artistic excellence, her focused discipline and her engaging personality. The fund was established to provide an opportunity for choristers in need of financial assistance to fully participate in the offerings of the Miami Children’s Chorus. Current and former family members of MCC choristers generously support the CPMSF.
