SentinelCares partners with several affinity groups that help support our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts. These groups focus on strategy, support, advocacy, and education to drive meaningful impact.
A Cause Close to Our Hearts
The John A. Carnevale ’81 Scholarship, established at St. John’s Preparatory School in Danvers, MA, is close to Sentinel's heart. This scholarship honors Sentinel’s founding CEO and is presented annually to a rising freshman who attends eighth grade at St. John’s.
The recipient will be a student who models leadership, demonstrates care and concern for his classmates, and feels a genuine passion for all that St. John’s Prep has to offer.
