Fundacion Azteca America raises $630K for Gray Whale Conservation.

Azteca America through Fundacion Azteca America and the Laguna San Ignacio Conservation Alliance is pleased to announce that it exceeded its fundraising goal in support of the Gray Whale in its first “Movimiento Azteca America.”
Fundraising in the United States alone was $630,000, exceeding the targeted goal by over 25%. However, the total amount raised in Mexico and the United States was over $3.5 million, which was seven times the $500,000 goal.

The donations will be used by members of the Laguna San Ignacio Conservation Alliance to preserve the San Ignacio Lagoon, the last undeveloped gray whale birthing site in the world, and develop sustainable activities for families in the area surrounding the lagoon.

“We are proud to present this check on behalf of Azteca America friends, viewers and members of the Laguna San Ignacio Conservation Alliance,” said Luis J. Echarte, Chairman of Azteca America. “And we look forward to continued efforts in support of the US Latino communities through Fundacion Azteca America.”
