Bud Light is donating $100,000 to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) to commemorate the team’s five-city American tour and make the dream of a college education a reality for Hispanics across this country. The donation, to be divided equally in the five states where the MNT will play the friendlies, is part of Bud Light’s long partnership with HSF. The initiative kicked off last night at the Mexico vs. Denmark game in Phoenix, Arizona, where the first $20,000 check was presented to HSF by Bud Light representatives as part of the pre-game activities.
“Bud Light is committed to supporting organizations like the Hispanic Scholarship Fund that touch the lives of so many Latinos in the U.S.,” said Bernardo Meza, Director of Multicultural Marketing for Bud Light. “We are happy to commemorate our MNT sponsorship in a way that also benefits the community at large.”
“The Hispanic Scholarship Fund is dedicated to providing Latino families with the financial and educational resources they need to achieve a college education and with Bud Light’s help, we are able to live up to our commitment,” said Fidel Vargas, President and CEO of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund.
This is exciting news. It’s good to see other companies using their influence to better the lives of our Hispanic youth. We officially accept the challenge of scholarship funds. Our (Arvizu Scholarships) goal this year is to raise $100,000 to give away at our 20th Annual Cinco de Mayo Phoenix Festival.
