“We grew up without much, but had many rich ideas from my
entrepreneurial parents,” said Ray Urdaneta, CEO of MONAT. “Giving back
to kids and encouraging their education is vitally important to me and
part of MONAT’s culture. One of our core philosophies is MONAT
Gratitude: we are grateful for what we have and we give back to the
communities that support us. Thanks to our limited-edition products and
promotions, like our More Than a Mist, we are able to give more,
reaching more people around the world.”
In MONAT’s hometown of Miami, $18,000 in scholarships is being awarded

college careers and pursue their dreams. MONAT awarded six $1,500
scholarships and three $3,000 scholarships (noted with asterisk)

As a Big Sister with BBBS Miami, Lu Urdaneta, Director, Global
Recognition and Gratitude, MONAT stated, “I’m always so happy and proud
with how we are able to give back to our community, but this scholarship
program means so much more because I’ve had the honor to watch these
young men and women from Turner Tech flourish while they learn about
business and different opportunities in the work force.”
For 60 Years, BBBS Miami has been the premier non-profit youth mentoring
organization by offering children facing adversity with strong and
enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change
their lives for the better, forever. BBBS Miami’s impact is significant
with 95 percent of enrolled youth attending college, 87 percent showing
improved academic performance and 94 percent with improved behavior.
“It’s a privilege to be part of BBBS Miami. My colleagues and I are
helping to support and empower our community’s future leaders,” said
Javier Urdaneta, Chief of Staff, MONAT. “The scholarship awards from
MONAT will help our Turner Tech ‘Littles’ continue to learn and grow. I
cannot wait to see how they impact our world.”
