Raul de Molina joined Box Tops for Education to create conciousness in Hispanic parents to support public schools

Raul de Molina, co-host of Univision’s El Gordo y La Flaca called Hispanic parents to help raise private funds for their children’s schools.To do this, De Molina has joined Box Tops for Education and invites parents to learn about the nation’s leading program revenues for public schools and help schools make money.De Molina, whose family is active in collecting and sending Box Tops to his daughter’s school, speaks about this association in a newly published {video; www.btfe.com/nuevoscoordinadores} in Spanish, produced during the summer.The Box Tops represent a value of 10 cents each, and can be found on packages of more than 250 products. Since the program began in 1996, Box Tops for Education has helped schools in the United States earn more than $600 million, including more than $ 82 million in the last school year.”This is why I am so passionate about the opportunity to help our schools” De Molina says. “Schools need our help, and every time you pull one of these packages without clipping the Box Tops and send it to your school, you are throwing 10 cents that might otherwise go to purchase school supplies and / or significant funding for school projects.”Last year, Box Tops for Education associated with the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) to publish a bilingual tool kit of education for Hispanic families called: Padres Comprometidos (Committed Parents): Supporting your Child’s Success which is still available online.
