“We grew up without much, but had many rich ideas from my entrepreneurial parents,” said Ray Urdaneta, CEO of MONAT. “Giving back to kids and encouraging their education is vitally important to me and part of MONAT’s culture. One of our core philosophies is MONAT Gratitude: we are grateful for what we have and we give back to the communities that support us. Thanks to our limited-edition products and promotions, like our More Than a Mist, we are able to give more, reaching more people around the world.”

In MONAT’s hometown of Miami, $18,000 in scholarships is being awarded through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami (BBBS Miami). Over the past 18 months, MONAT employees and executives have been mentoring 17 young adults enrolled at Turner Tech High School. Of the 17 graduating seniors, nine were awarded scholarships to help support them as they begin their college careers and pursue their dreams. MONAT awarded six $1,500 scholarships and three $3,000 scholarships (noted with asterisk) based on essays written by the students entitled, “How I Want to Make a Positive Impact in the World,” as well as exemplary school performance and leadership. The recipients are:

• Andy Gedeon
• Chanel Carter
• Deborah Michel
• Eric Alain*
• Iloni Lallion-Brizan
• Jeannise Semancie*
• Jihny Theus
• Ronelda Eliacin*
• Syndi Pierre

As a Big Sister with BBBS Miami, Lu Urdaneta, Director, Global Recognition and Gratitude, MONAT stated, “I’m always so happy and proud with how we are able to give back to our community, but this scholarship program means so much more because I’ve had the honor to watch these young men and women from Turner Tech flourish while they learn about business and different opportunities in the work force.”

For 60 Years, BBBS Miami has been the premier non-profit youth mentoring organization by offering children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever. BBBS Miami’s impact is significant with 95 percent of enrolled youth attending college, 87 percent showing improved academic performance and 94 percent with improved behavior.

“It’s a privilege to be part of BBBS Miami. My colleagues and I are helping to support and empower our community’s future leaders,” said Javier Urdaneta, Chief of Staff, MONAT. “The scholarship awards from MONAT will help our Turner Tech ‘Littles’ continue to learn and grow. I cannot wait to see how they impact our world.”
