Hispanic Heritage Month Recap
As we bid farewell to Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact we were able to make this year, thanks to each and every one of you. Our involvement in Hispanic Heritage Month marked a significant step forward in our commitment to supporting the Hispanic community and advancing financial wellness. Let's take a closer look at the highlights of this year's celebration:
Viva La Fiesta Stage Sponsorship
This year, we proudly served as the stage sponsor for Viva La Fiesta, Jacksonville's premier Hispanic Heritage Festival. Our prominent presence at this event showcased our dedication to the community, and it allowed us to connect with a diverse and engaged audience.
Our booth at the festival served as a hub for connecting with attendees and spreading financial literacy. We engaged the audience, answered questions, and provided valuable resources to those seeking financial wellness.
Latina Radio 92.1 Interview
As a result of our stage sponsorship, we were invited to Latina Radio 92.1 for a brief interview on their morning show. This opportunity helped us share our mission and values with a broader audience, strengthening our position as financial educators.
Juntos Avanzamos Cultural Inclusion Challenge
I am delighted to share that several of our coworkers took up the Juntos Avanzamos Cultural Inclusion Challenge and succeeded. Their efforts exemplify our dedication to inclusivity and cultural awareness.
Achieving the Dream Scholarship
Once again, Alive sponsored the Achieving the Dream scholarship, a vital initiative aimed at helping LatinX students overcome financial obstacles in their pursuit of education through the First Coast Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Graduation rates for LatinX students at both 2-year and 4-year colleges have faced challenges, primarily due to financial constraints. By providing this scholarship, we are truly inspiring financial wellness and making a significant impact on these students' lives.
As we move forward, let's carry the spirit of Hispanic Heritage Month with us every day. The positive outcomes of our involvement in these events are a testament to our collective dedication to financial wellness and community development. I am immensely proud of the work we do and the impact we create.
