P&G (Procter & Gamble) recognized the positive influence that MECA makes to the community by choosing them as one of the organizations that they decided to support.
They introduced their “Orgullosa Project to offer the community the opportunity to give back.” MECA was one of five organizations chosen from around the U.S. and the only organization from Texas. The community was encouraged to go to the Orgullosa Facebook page to vote for them. The organizations received funding from Orgullosa based on the number of votes that they received. MECA ranked third, making them eligible for the $20,000 prize.
