Our Mission
Armstrong Family & Associates Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides college scholarships to deserving minority high school graduates from the Greater Las Vegas communities. Our goal is to assist those who have a strong desire to further their education and who have been accepted to a Historic Black College and University (HBCU) or UNLV.
​
We desire to carry on a legacy of giving back to the local community that was first realized long ago through Ray & Ross Transport, Inc. That internationally recognized bus company, established by Sammie Ross Armstrong and his business partner Douglas Ray McCain in 1972, was 100% African-American owned and operated out of Las Vegas, Nevada, for over 25 years. During that time, the company actively participated in educating young people in the trade. When it closed, that mission had been accomplished.
This foundation was Sammie Ross Armstrong’s new vision for the future. He wanted these scholarships to be the helping hand for deserving students to attain decision-making political offices at the local and national level. His goal was to infuse more integrity into our political system.
We eventually hope to grow this beyond the high school level, to include undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate support. Those whose aspirations and abilities will take them into the political arena, where they can make a difference in the future of our great city.
