“It’s a privilege for us to assist the tremendous efforts of Whataburger in this impactful community program,” said MountainStar Sports Group Senior Vice President and Chihuahuas General Manager Brad Taylor. “They continue to lead the way in helping El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank.”
“We’re proud to partner once again with the Chihuahuas on supporting those in need in the El Paso community,” said Whataburger Brand Leader Robert Rubal. “This fundraiser aligns with our signature program, Whataburger Feeding Student Success, ensuring students can reach their full potential. With the help of fans, these donations will directly support local youth and really make a difference.”
El Pasoans Fighting Hunger's mission is to combat the hunger crisis in our region by strategically procuring and distributing nutritious food through community partners. For every $1 donated, EPFHFB can provide seven meals for children, elderly, and others who are hungry.
"We are so grateful to be a part of the 2023 Whataburger Donation Drive,” said Susan Goodell, CEO of El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank. “It is shocking how many of our borderland students are food insecure. Through this drive, El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Food Bank will be able to feed more food-insecure students and set them on a path to success."
The 10th Season Celebration, presented by GECU, is underway, with two games left in the season-opening series against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys, Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.
