Cecilia Mota

BIO:

Cecilia Mota is the founder and president of Legends of the Game Caribbean Fantasy Camps, Inc., a company that offers weeklong instructional camps with world renown sports figures, that are held throughout various islands on the rich and diverse Caribbean basin.

These camps allow participants to interact on a personal basis with sports legends like Manny Mota, Juan Marichal, Maury Wills, and Luis Tiant, among others, while enjoying turquoise waters, white sands, and the friendliness and warmth of people from this historical region.

As the volunteer Executive Director of the Manny Mota International Foundation (MMIF) for the past eight years, Cecilia is committed to causes that advance the economic, cultural, and educational development of both her native country of the Dominican Republic, as well as her adopted country, the United States.

Under the auspices of the MMIF, her efforts-and those of the entire Mota family-are fostering the development of programs that assist at-risk youth and their families in both countries by providing scholarships for higher education, health clinics, food drives, and instructional baseball clinics that stress the value of sports and of good sportsmanship. Cecilia also serves as advisor in the Advisory Executive Board of the Dominican Cultural Center in Los Angeles, and is an active member of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Female Executives (NAFE), For You Network, Ladies Who Launch and the National Latina Business Women Association (NLBWA-LA).

By having her own business, Cecilia will achieve her lifelong dream of traveling the world, learning about and exposing her clients and her team to the beauty of other cultures as well as supporting causes closest to her heart. A portion of the proceeds from Legends of the Game will go toward supporting women entrepreneur programs, young girls organizations and most certainly the Manny Mota International Foundation, as she is a true believer in what her mother has always told her, "Charity starts at home".
