CHICAGO, April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This Cinco de Mayo, Modelo is giving away $250,000 worth of beer, in the form of $10 gift cards, so fans can join in on a celebratory #SaludToCinco social toast on Wednesday, May 5 – a virtual “salud” to connect. Additionally, Modelo, the beer brewed with The Fighting Spirit™, is again supporting #FirstRespondersFirst with a donation to salute the ongoing tireless efforts of first responders.
“At Modelo, we believe the best celebrations happen when we’re able to reconnect with friends and family,” said Greg Gallagher, Vice President, Modelo Brand Marketing. “That’s why we’re picking up the tab this Cinco de Mayo so fans can raise a glass to the heroes who’ve had our backs this past year.”
Now through noon on May 4, those 21+ can visit ModeloCincodeMayo.dja.com or follow @ModeloUSA on social to learn how to enter for a chance to win a $10 e-gift card that can be used to purchase a 6-pack of Modelo.* Modelo will then encourage fans of legal drinking age to join the social toast on Cinco de Mayo, honoring first responders and tagging the heroes in their lives with the hashtag #SaludToCinco.
Modelo will continue its support of first responders with a $250,000 donation to #FirstRespondersFirst, an organization dedicated to the wellbeing of healthcare workers. Modelo has always been committed to honoring those with The Fighting Spirit, a core part of the brand’s DNA. Last year Modelo donated $750,000 to #FirstRespondersFirst to provide essential supplies, equipment, and resources to protect healthcare workers on the frontline.
To bring to life the essence of #SaludToCinco, Modelo recently teamed up with Mario Lopez – actor, media personality, and brand fan – to surprise a group of healthcare workers in his hometown of Burbank, Calif. While at the hospital, they expressed appreciation of the staff’s hard work and sacrifices while treating them to local Mexican food.
*About the Sweepstakes: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open to 50 US/DC, 21+. Ends 5/4/21 at 11:59 AM ET. Void where prohibited. Rules: modelocincodemayo.dja.com
