American Family partners with Amazon and NASA engineer to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
From September 15 to October 15, American Family celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) to recognize the cultures, backgrounds and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx people, including through a variety of events that are virtual and free to the public.
Collaborating for a cause
In honor of HHM, American Family will sponsor Amazon’s Stream It Forward event, which follows on a similar, successful partnership during HHM last year.
Specifically, from September 15 through October 31, the company will partner with Amazon to promote premium Prime and IMDb content featuring a variety of Hispanic stories and talent across the Fire TV platform. For every hour the Hispanic titles are streamed on the platform, Amazon will donate $1 (up to $50,000) on behalf of American Family to the non-profit organization and American Family Dreams Foundation partner, Chicanos Por La Causa.
“We’re honored to partner with Amazon to bring important Hispanic talent and stories to the forefront of Fire TV,” says Ann Poulose, director of audience management and media at American Family. “Our goal is to give back to the Hispanic community and show our commitment to protecting their dreams.”
Special events with American Family’s DreamBank
As part of the month-long Hispanic Heritage celebration, American Family's DreamBank is offering a variety of free virtual events.
