Tony the Tiger, Tomlinson announce grant for middle-schools
Kellogg's Tony the Tiger visited three EPISD campuses on Dec. 12, 2019, to announce a great program that will give $500,000 to middle-school athletics in El Paso. The program, announced at Wiggs Middle School, is part of the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl and funded through a partnership with the Dick's Sporting Goods Foundation. EPISD middle schools will receive $200,000 from the grant. Tony also made surprise visits to Guillen and Brown middle-school athletes for a similar announcement. The event came a few weeks before the Dec. 31 Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, fittingly announced by a former Sun Bowl alum and NFL hall of famer, LaDainian Tomlinson. (Leonel Monroy, Jr./El Paso ISD)
