DALLAS, TX, JULY 15, 2022 – Please join us in celebrating the successful conclusion of the inaugural “Truckloads of Giving” event - An Avondale Dealerships and Hispanic Star Dallas community impact event organized by Social Revolt Agency. Our shared contribution to the Dallas community is needed now more than ever. This is the 4th time Social Revolt has connected partners of this level with a donation of this size and the results have been incredible. Here’s a look at what we accomplished. It was a big task, but everyone showed up excited and ready to serve our beloved community for the greater good.
“Our Estamos Unidos campaign has helped strengthen P&G’s partnership with leading non-profit organizations providing relief to Hispanic American essential workers by supporting Hispanics in Philanthropy, United Farm Workers, Justice for Migrant Workers, the Dolores Huerta Foundation, and Hispanic Star,” said Marty Martinez, Hispanic Star Dallas Hub Ambassador, and CEO of Social Revolt Agency. “Our support has helped power 15 activation hubs across 75 cities and mobilized over 2,000 volunteers. Across these efforts, we have donated over 5 million products for immediate relief, reaching over 325,000 families.
Through our collective partnership with Procter & Gamble, the Hispanic Star’s Dallas Hub received over $500,000 in supplies and partnered with Avondale Dealerships to select eight beneficiary organizations to distribute to the community. Among them, Demarcus Lawrence’s organization of choice, Dallas based, Big Thought
