EL PASO, Texas – On Tuesday, McDonald’s joined the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (EPHCC) to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Triunfadores Awards luncheon, honoring six El Paso leaders whose professional achievements are matched by a commitment to serving the community.
Celebrating service and entrepreneurship
The luncheon, a long‑standing tradition in the city, highlights individuals who have used their talents to improve the quality of life for fellow residents. Proceeds from the event are directed to the EPHCC, helping the chamber expand programs that support local businesses, entrepreneurs, and overall economic growth in the region.
Among the honorees, Manny Soto of CREEED expressed gratitude, saying, “It’s a great honor to be an awardee amongst all the awardees over the last 25 years, people with very accomplished careers that have given back to El Paso and making our home city a much better place to live.”
The six recognized leaders represent a cross‑section of El Paso’s professional community, each exemplifying the values of hard work, faith, and family that underpin the city’s thriving spirit. Their contributions range from mentorship programs for young entrepreneurs to charitable initiatives that address local needs such as food security and education.
Impact of the Triunfadores Awards
Since its inception, the Triunfadores Awards luncheon has become a cornerstone of El Paso’s civic calendar. By spotlighting individuals who embody the city’s entrepreneurial drive and community‑first mindset, the event reinforces a culture of giving back that resonates with families and faith‑based organizations alike.
The partnership between McDonald’s and the EPHCC underscores a shared belief in the power of private‑sector leadership to foster economic opportunity. Funds raised at the luncheon will be allocated to chamber projects that provide training, networking, and resources for small‑business owners, helping to sustain job creation and growth throughout the metro area.
Looking ahead
As the Triunfadores Awards mark their silver anniversary, organizers hope the tradition will continue to inspire future generations of El Paso leaders. The ceremony not only celebrates past achievements but also sets a hopeful tone for continued collaboration between corporations, chambers of commerce, and community volunteers.
Local residents are encouraged to attend future events and support the chamber’s mission, reinforcing the idea that strong families and vibrant neighborhoods are built on the dedication of individuals who choose to serve.
