Singing for Education
Budweiser and Mexican singing legend Vicente Fernández today announced a three-year partnership, with Budweiser as the presenting sponsor of his much-anticipated tour. As part of the tour, Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch Foundation will donate a scholarship at each venue through the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, resulting in an additional $100,000 to HSF.

“In addition to celebrating the music of Vicente Fernández, we are working together to give back to the community through a college scholarship program benefiting the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which both ‘El Rey’ and Budweiser strongly support,” said Margarita Flores, senior director of community relations at Anheuser-Busch and a member of the board of directors of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF).  “Since 1982, Budweiser has donated nearly $23 million and awarded 20,000 scholarships to HSF, the nation’s leading non-profit organization that supports Hispanic higher education.” 

“I am pleased to collaborate with Budweiser on projects that empower the community, especially the Hispanic Scholarship Fund,” said Vicente Fernández.  “We are contributing to education by way of music.”
