Joseph KavetskyPepsiCo and the Arizona Diamondbacks are partnering on the company’s Juntos Crecemos initiative to support local Hispanic businesses. The ballclub and PepsiCo recently presented a donation to Mariscos Playa Hermosa and picked up the tab for the restaurant’s customers during an afternoon lunch rush.
Launched in October 2020 with the aim of supporting small businesses, PepsiCo’s Juntos Crecemos has helped restaurants, carnicerías, and bodegas as part of a $50 million commitment made by PepsiCo.
In addition to making direct donations, PepsiCo’s Juntos Crecemos also offers businesses services such as marketing support, operational assistance, and mentoring.
Mariscos Playa Hermosa is a Phoenix-based Mexican seafood restaurant established in 2002 by Jose and Maria Maldonado that has since become a fan favorite for locals.
Diamondbacks legend Luis Gonzalez was on hand to present Mariscos with a check for $10,000 on behalf of PepsiCo’s Juntos Crecemos, which was represented by Josh Crosman, vice president of GTM, strategy & transformation for PepsiCo Beverages North America.
