Chihuahuas & Whataburger’s Second Donation Drive to Take Place Tomorrow

EL PASO – May 26, 2022 – The El Paso Chihuahuas and Whataburger have partnered to collect non-perishable and monetary donations for the Child Crisis Center of El Paso. The second of five donation drives will take place Friday, May 27 during the Chihuahuas game versus Sugar Land (Houston Astros affiliate).

The first drive, on April 30, was a success, with more than $500 in monetary donations and 40 items that were given to the Crisis Center. All items will be collected and distributed to the center on the final donation drive date August 5.

The Child Crisis Center is in need of household non-perishable items including mattress covers, bed sheets, comforters, and towels. In exchange for a donation, including monetary donations, ticketed patrons will receive a coupon good for a free Whataburger, while supplies last!

Fans will have other opportunities to donate: Sat., June 18, Fri., July 15 and Fri., August 5.

“We’re proud to continue the momentum of these donation drives by partnering with the Chihuahuas to support the Child Crisis Center,” said Robert Rubal, Market Leader for Whataburger. “Serving and giving back to our communities continues to be the heart of Whataburger. Thanks to the fans for helping us feed and provide a safe space for El Paso families in need.”

In addition to a free Whataburger coupon, fans are eligible to win Whataburger for a year with the purchase of a 50/50 Community Jackpot ticket, presented by Texas Gas Services, during any of the respective donation games. For each ticket purchased, each patron will receive an entry to win the grand prize. Jackpot buy-ins are five numbers for $10, 20 for $20, 80 for $40, and 300 numbers for $100.
