We’re feeling especially thankful for our amazing Taco Bell Foundation Champions this holiday season! 💜 This special group of partners is dedicated to elevating our mission through generous donations and investing time in our programs. Together, they fuel scholarships, mentorship, and community programs that empower the next generation of leaders.
From supporting our yearly Golf Classic to getting hands-on through volunteer opportunities and scholar engagement, our Champions find countless ways to make a difference. There are so many incredible partners who make this work possible, and we want to shine a light on some who went above and beyond this year. ✨
THANK YOU TO:
CoLabL ⏷
Since partnering with the Taco Bell Foundation on all things Live Más Scholarship, CoLabL has actively engaged in our programs, including being Scholarship Scouts and providing mentorship support. Founder and CEO Daniel Horgan even joined the Foundation’s Board of Directors in 2024, a testament to their deep commitment to empowering young leaders.
PepsiCo ⏷
A longtime friend of the Taco Bell Foundation, PepsiCo keeps our events — and our spirits — refreshed. From serving as the title sponsor for the Taco Bell Foundation Golf Classic to providing beverages at Summer of Connection and energizing FRANMAC with their Live Auction donations, their partnership helps keep every event flowing with excitement.
Upworthy ⏷
Champions since 2024, Upworthy has partnered with the Taco Bell Foundation to help share scholar stories and inspire audiences across the country. Beyond our ongoing collaboration, their team also volunteers their time hosting workshops and as Scholarship Scouts — a meaningful way they continue to support the next generation of changemakers.
McEntire Produce ⏷
a Foodservice Division of Fresh Express
Since joining as a sponsor in 2023, McEntire Produce has continued to champion Live Más Scholars in every way — from volunteering at Summer of Connection to joining us on the course at the Golf Classic. Their team’s enthusiasm for mentorship and community impact embodies what it means to be a Taco Bell Foundation Champion.
Cargill ⏷
As the first official Taco Bell Foundation Champion, Cargill set the bar high with their multi-year commitment to supporting education and empowerment. Their employees show up year after year as Scholarship Scouts and Summer of Connection volunteers, proving what it means to lead by example.
Comcast ⏷
What began as a spark of inspiration at a Taco Bell Foundation event has grown into a powerful partnership. Comcast has helped amplify our mission through their PSA campaign and continued support at events like FRANMAC, where their generosity shines through silent auction donations and more.
Brandwell ⏷
From FRANMAC merch to Golf Classic swag, Brandwell brings creativity and style to every touchpoint. Beyond design, their partnership helps us bring the Taco Bell Foundation story to life — and they’re always ready to go the extra mile for our scholars.
FRANMAC ⏷
FRANMAC has long been a key partner in bringing the Taco Bell Foundation’s presence to life at Owners Forums and FRANMAC Convention. Their ongoing support of events, silent auctions, and Scholarship Scouts makes them an essential part of the Taco Bell Foundation family.
These Champions represent just a handful of the businesses driving real change through the Taco Bell Foundation. Their generosity, creativity, and dedication inspire us daily, and remind us that when we invest in young people, we invest in a brighter future for all.
To all our Taco Bell Foundation Champions: thank you for helping the next generation Live Más. 🙌
