Son-elia: In the spirit of unity and hope, the name Sonelia is a combination of our Founder and President’s children’s names Sontino and Cecelia. Background Sonelia Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization designed to support and promote the agendas, programs, and activities of individuals and organizations who serve the community at-large. We help manage cross-community initiatives; provide energy and cohesiveness for community programs/organizations; and act as an incubator for community-based initiatives. An organization such as Sonelia is needed in order to support an environment of success based on positivity, connectivity, and productivity.
Sonelia is distinct and unique because our agenda is to support the people of the community and to assist other organizations/programs with facilitating their own agendas/goals. Through initiatives, activities, services, and collaborations, we support agendas of other agencies. Sonelia also shines the spotlight on and raises awareness for inspirational individuals, organizations and programs who educate, engage, and encourage others to get involved; and promotes peace, fosters pride and creates hope by supporting, and collaborating with public schools, agencies, organizations, and programs dedicated to enhancing the lives of the community.
