The Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee (HPGM) hosted the HPGM Benito Bowl Fundraiser on Sunday, February 8 at Banderas (408 W Florida St., Milwaukee), bringing together community, culture, and support for Latino advancement during the Super Bowl.
The event celebrated Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny’s halftime performance while raising funds to support HPGM’s mission of increasing economic prosperity and growing Latino influence for a stronger Wisconsin. HPGM achieves this mission by removing barriers to higher education and expanding access to mentorship, networks of influence, family-sustaining careers, and more. Donations play a vital role in continuing the cultivation of strategic partnerships to advance cultural understanding and belonging within our workforce.
Attendees enjoyed the game, food, music, and community connection in a welcoming and fun atmosphere. Highlights of the evening included a Bad Bunny lookalike contest, Super Bowl Square Game, raffle prizes, and a mural installation by local Milwaukee artist Orlando Gonzalez. Food was included with the $25 ticket while supplies lasted, with additional options available from Romero’s Food Truck, a local Latino-owned business.
