New Futuro and Allstate estimate these events will attract more than 10,000 Latino parents and students from through- out Chicagoland. A dedicated website at
www.NewFuturo.com will contain infor- mation on the dates and locations of all events, as well as useful bilingual informa- tion and resources about preparing, apply- ing to and paying for college and other post-secondary alternatives.
“Partnering with New Futuro is a natu-
ral extension of Allstate’s commitment to protecting families and giving them the op- portunities they need to succeed,” said Mike Escobar, Allstate’s vice president and chief diversity and organization effective- ness officer. “We believe that one of the
best ways we can help our customers pre- pare for the future is through education, and we are proud to be able to support these important efforts in coming months in Allstate’s hometown.” “We’re thrilled to have Allstate on board as our corporate sponsor. Allstate’s support will advance our goal to motivate 10,000 Latino families to commit to a ten-point plan focused on getting their students into college and beyond,” said Marty Castro, co-founder of New Futuro. “Equally im- portant, though, is the company’s willing- ness to share its diverse human capital— Allstate’s people who truly understand and have successfully navigated the path to- ward succeeding in life.” In addition to Allstate, New Futuro is working with other strategic partners to collaborate on a variety of initiatives that will help Latino families and students pre- pare to enter to college.
