Antares believes strongly in giving back and being a responsible corporate citizen. We approach this challenge with the same discipline and strategy that we apply to all aspects of our business. By donating both time and money to a wide range of groups, foundations, and organizations dealing with education, youth, community, health and the environment, we demonstrate our dedication to the community.

JCC Memorial Scholarship Fund
The James C. Cabrera Memorial Scholarship is awarded every year to a member of the Greenwich High School football team in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Cabrera family selects, with recommendations from the coaches, a member of the team who best fits the attributes that made Mr. Cabrera such a revered person to his family and community. The award’s criteria were outlined in l997, the year of Mr. Cabrera's death. A golf tournament, The JCC Classic, is held at Greenwich Country Club and is hosted by members of the Cabrera family. The $5,000 scholarship, awarded at the Football Banquet held in December of each year, is then sent to the college of the recipient's choice. A plaque with the names of all the recipients is kept in the high school trophy case.
