Shaquille O’Neal, Pepsi team up to grow communities across country, including Miami
Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, who won NBA titles with the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, is partnering with Pepsi on the Pepsi Stronger Together campaign, a grassroots initiative to provide support to different communities across the nation, according to a press release.
Through the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation, Shaq is teaming up on the Pepsi Stronger Together campaign to work with four cities and their NBA teams and charities to build stronger communities.
Those cities are Miami, Orlando, Memphis and Washington D.C.
“This program might be one of the most substantial and important steps in helping our local communities to become stronger together,” O’Neal said in a press release. “There has never been a more important time to look inward and focus on these grassroots initiatives, and I’m excited to join forces with Pepsi to help those in need.”
In Miami, the Pepsi Stronger Together campaign’s activation through Pepsi, the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation and its partners include:
- Pepsi is donating $10,000 to Miami Heat police training programs.
- The Miami Heat and Pepsi are auctioning off one-of-a-kind prize package through the Pepsi Stronger Together website. The funds from the auction are used for minority-run local restaurants, who are struggling from the COVID-19 pandemic, to purchase meals for families across Miami for the upcoming holidays.
