DESCRIPTION:
In celebration of this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, Comcast is honoring eight community volunteers as part of the company’s sixth annual Hispanic Hero Awards.
“The Hispanic Hero Awards allows us to recognize a group of individuals who have driven significant positive change in their communities and, at the same time, celebrate the diversity of this great city,” said Ralph Martinez, senior vice president for Comcast’s Houston region. “We are inspired by the accomplishments and passion of each of these honorees and honored to be able to shine a light on all they do to make a difference to so many.”
Honorees, who were nominated by organizations throughout the city, are being celebrated for their commitment to making a difference in the community through volunteerism, mentorship, advocacy and civic engagement and were judged on criteria that included their personal impact in the community, helping further the mission of a nonprofit organization and overcoming personal obstacles.
